Maersk, an integrated logistics company, has delivered its first end-to-end shipment of freshly produced green chillies from Varanasi to Jebel Ali, UAE, within a duration of nine days.

The company worked closely with the Agricultural and Processed Food Exports Development Authority (APEDA), the apex organisation under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to enable trade opportunities in the state via land and sea routes.

The company delivers its first trial shipment of 14 tonne of green chillies from Varanasi to Dubai. The move enhances India’s agro-produce export trade potential with integrated cold chain logistics solutions.

Throughout the journey from Varanasi to Jebel Ali, leveraging the Remote Container Management (RCM) technology, temperature of the cargo was accurately maintained at the temperature recommended by the Refrigerated (Reefer) expert with proper tracking of the container movement and co-ordination with various stakeholders involved in the project.
