India’s First Fruit Train Flagged Off From Andhra Pradesh to JNPT

• In another major milestone achievement for the Indian Railways, a first-of-its-kind ‘Fruit Train’ was flagged off from Tadipatri Railway Station in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh to the Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Mumbai, from where the consignment will be exported to Iran.
• This is the first time that an entire train carrying a load of 980 tonnes of locally grown bananas is being sent to the gateway port (JNPT) for export.
• These bananas will be exported under the brand name ‘Happy Bananas’.
• The initiative will help save both time and fuel as compared to road transportation, collaboration between companies and local farmers, provide market linkage and ensure higher prices with a regular increase in income year-on-year.
