Namakkal Eggs Begin US Exports for Industrial Use
Namakkal, a place in India known as the egg capital, has started sending eggs to the United States for the first time.
These eggs, about 12 million of them, are traveling in special, cold containers.
They are not for eating directly but will be used to make other food items like liquids and baked goods.
A company called Abi Egg Traders sent the eggs, and it will take about a month for them to arrive in the US.
This is a big deal for Namakkal's egg business, which handles most of India's egg exports.
Eggs from Namakkal, India's 'egg capital,' have been exported to the US for the first time.
1.2 crore eggs were shipped in refrigerated containers via Thoothukudi port.
The eggs will be used for industrial purposes, like liquids and bakery applications.
The shipment, organized by Abi Egg Traders, will take 30-40 days to reach the US East Coast.
This marks a significant breakthrough for Namakkal's egg industry, which handles nearly 90% of India's egg exports.
