The government has unveiled plans to develop a ₹13.5 crore export pack house at Mopa Airport, a move aimed at strengthening air cargo infrastructure and boosting outbound shipments from the region. The proposed facility will cater primarily to perishable cargo, including fruits, vegetables, seafood, and floriculture products, ensuring better handling, sorting, grading, and packaging before export.
The pack house is expected to play a key role in enhancing the efficiency and quality of exports by integrating modern cold chain and logistics support systems. By reducing transit time and minimizing post-harvest losses, the facility will help exporters maintain product freshness and meet international quality standards.
Strategically located at Mopa Airport, the project is set to improve connectivity for exporters in Goa and nearby regions, offering faster access to global markets. It is also expected to benefit farmers, agri-exporters, and small businesses by providing streamlined infrastructure and reducing dependency on distant cargo hubs.
Officials noted that the initiative aligns with the government’s broader push to strengthen export-oriented infrastructure and promote agricultural and perishable exports. Once operational, the pack house is likely to enhance cargo volumes at the airport while contributing to regional economic growth and job creation.
