Solapur’s Farmer-Producer Company Exports Bananas to Dubai
A company called Surachita Agro Producer Company Ltd (SAPCL) in Solapur, Maharashtra, has sent its first big shipment of bananas to Dubai.
They started by trying to sell raisins and grapes but found that bananas were more popular.
With help from a group called Palladium, they connected with buyers and sent 20 tonnes of bananas to Dubai.
Now, they want to make more products like banana powder and chips to use all the bananas and help more farmers.
They currently work with about 5,000 to 6,000 farmers and hope to include 30,000 to 40,000 more in the future.
Surachita Agro Producer Company Ltd (SAPCL) exported 20 tonnes of bananas to Dubai.
The company initially focused on raisins and grapes but shifted to bananas due to higher demand.
