The 1.755-metric-tonne shipment travelled from Gobichettipalayam to Varna and was flagged off on 15 October. The product carried NPOP and EU organic certification.

APEDA said the initiative covers 137 acres under organic cultivation in Erode district and is intended to strengthen market links for producers.
