KSPL to develop two more berths at deep sea port
Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) Chairman Dr. M. Angamuthu and East Godavari Collector D. Muralidhar Reddy on Friday flagged off the first consignment of rice from the Kakinada deepwater port as the Kakinada anchorage port has already met its capacity to handle rice exports.
The State government has recently permitted APEDA to export rice from the deep sea port operated by the Kakinada Sea Ports Limited (KSPL).
The Rice Exporters Association (TREA-India) is exporting the rice that is beyond the handling capacity of the Kakinada Anchorage Port operated by the A.P. Maritime Board.
