There are two main ports in India, which are the Southern East part of India and North-Eastern India. During the first half of the year (Jan - Jun), ginger is produced in southern India so Chennai becomes the main port. In Southern East India, Chennai Mangrove is the closest port to the producing region and packing facilities. In Northern India, Mumbai is the main port. Although the port is far from the main producing regions, Mumbai is a highly preferred port for exporters because of the transportation/container availability. Both airfreight and seafreight are used for international logistics. The preferred method is the seafreight while for time-constraint orders, airfreight is used.
