The New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT) requested coffee exporters from Hassan to make best use of the port, which is around 165 kilometer (km) from Hassan.
In view of the forthcoming coffee plucking season, the port trust held an interactive session with the coffee exporters. Major coffee exporters from Hassan region and officials from the Coffee Board attended the meet.
During the meet, the exporters have reportedly asked the port for improving the connectivity between Hassan and Mangalore. They said the condition of the National Highway at Shirady Ghat stretch is poor. They also sought better Railway connectivity to NMPT from Hassan.
Tamilvanan, Chairman, NMPT explained the infrastructure addition and ongoing development works at the port to the exporters during the meet.
