Gujarat-based Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ)
has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with India Pulses and Grains
Association (IPGA) to handle import and exports of pulses across its ports in
the country. The MoU seeks to Develop an efficient and dedicated supply chain
for pulses using Adani Ports’ strategically located facilities to all key
consumption centres in the country. Ensure the smooth and cost efficient
availability of this key protein source by ideally connecting to the key
markets of North, West and Central India. To facilitate handling of pulses,
APSEZ has developed the world class facilities for an agricultural market place
at its all ports. It also has largest dedicated covered warehouse space inside
ports for Agricultural goods. The company also has tied up with multiple
partner agencies to provide collateral management and trade finance services at
the port itself. It should be noted that APSEZ is India’s largest private port
development company. Annually, India imports nearly 5 million tonnes of pulses
for domestic consumption mainly from countries like Canada and Australia.
