New Delhi: Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Wednesday flagged off the first consignment of fresh apricots for export to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and pitched for setting up a world-class apricot processing unit in the Union Territory to strengthen outbound shipments.
The inaugural consignment of five metric tonnes was flagged off from Ladakh Bhawan here under an agreement signed by the Ladakh administration with the UAE-based Lulu Group earlier this year.
