Muzaffarpur. The taste of Muzaffarpur’s Rasbhari Shahi Litchi will not only be tasted by the people of Bihar, but people of many states will also enjoy it. Litchi of Bihar will now reach the metros by plane. Litchi of Bihar will be started from Darbhanga Airport via SpiceJet from 20th May to send Via Darbhanga to Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad.
The Air Company has tied up with Bihar Litchi Producer Association. According to the agreement, the company will send six tonnes of litchi daily to these metros at the rate of Rs 40 per kg freight.
Bachcha Prasad, president of Bihar Litchi Producer Association said that farmers and businessmen are expected to benefit from sending litchi by air from Darbhanga.
He said that after sending litchi by train and truck, there is a possibility of litchi getting spoiled. Now litchi will reach the metropolis in a single day, so it will be fresh. Its price in the metropolis will be easily available from 18 hundred rupees to two thousand rupees box.
Preparations have been completed to send litchi to Darbhanga airport from May 20. For this, a shed has been built at the western gate of the airport, from where litchi will be booked in the cargo.
People living in these metros will also be able to easily get their favorite litchi. Litchi will reach hundreds of kilometers away in a few hours by air. There will be no danger of them rotting. By June 16, farmers will be able to send their litchis by plane.
Here, President Bachcha Prasad said that preparations are being made to send litchi by Pawan Express as well. Railways has given its consent to add parcel vans in the express.
Farmers are also happy to send litchi from Darbhanga airport to other states. Farmers told that their income would increase if litchi is sold on time. This will also increase the attachment of farmers towards litchi production.
Manohar, a litchi grower, said that in case of not selling litchi on time, the income decreases for many years. Now if litchi is sent out by air, then its demand will also increase. If litchi gets a bigger market now, the income of the growers will increase.
It is noteworthy that the litchi of Muzaffarpur is famous for its special taste in the country and abroad as well.
