Campco (Central Arecanut and Cocoa Marketing and Processing Cooperative) Ltd has exported a trial consignment of arecanut to China.
Suresh Bhandary, Managing Director of Campco, said that the consignment of around 360 kg of arecanut was exported to China through the Chennai port on November 24.
This followed the visit of a high-level delegation of Campco to China in June this year to explore the possibilities of exporting arecanut.
Campco had signed a memorandum of understanding with a China-based company — Hunan Kou Wei Wang Group Company Ltd — to process and export tender arecanut on a trial basis.
Bhandary said that tender arecanut from the Shivamogga, Puttur and Coimbatore regions were selected for this trial consignment. These stocks were processed at Campco’s facility in Puttur, Dakshina Kannada district.
The co-operative will explore the possibilities of bulk supplies to China based on the company’s suggestions and feedback on quality of the consignment.
