India Post is now looking to tie up with agricultural producers to deliver their produce to the doorsteps of consumers. This comes after a pilot project to deliver idli and dosa batter to homes in the city failed to take off in a big way.
“We have the capacity to tie up with agricultural producers and deliver their produce to the doorsteps of the customers,” said S. Rajendra Kumar, Chief Postmaster General, Karnataka Circle.
“This can include fruits, vegetables and other grains like corn produces. We are trying to locate some agro-producers for this. We already have a tie-up with the Mango Board and they have said that they will also try to establish online booking facilities for other seasonal fruits,” he said.
