Mangalore, April 21: The New Mangalore Port during the last financial year 2011-12 handled a record quantity of 1,44,621 metric tonnes (6786 TEUs) of coffee as against 1,28,378 metric tonnes (6103TEUs) handled during the previous year with a growth rate of 12.65%.

Chairman Dr. P. Tamilvanan while addressing the major coffee exporters in a Business Meet held at Kushalnagar on Friday, conveyed his gratitude to the coffee exporters of Karnataka, in particular from Madikeri-Kushalnagar-Hassan-Mysore region.

The growth in container traffic is the result of various trade meets/interactive sessions conducted by the Port at Madikeri, Kushalnagar, Hassan, Bangalore and Mysore in association with the respective Chambers and FKCCI, Bangalore during the last few years.

This has resulted in the increased flow of coffee from the above region. From 1378 TEUs (25,550 metric tonnes) of coffee handled in 2004-05, there was a consistent growth every year which has now reached up to 6786 TEUs (1,44,621 metric tonnes). Karnataka being the largest producer of coffee in India with 70% share produced 2.27 lakh tonnes of coffee during 2011-12 as against the total coffee production of 3.22 lakh tonnes produced in India(courtesy: Coffee Board website)

While assuring all infrastructure and assistance for the smooth handling of coffee through New Mangalore Port, the Chairman has sought the continued support and cooperation by further enhancing the utilization of the gateway port of Karnataka.
