The first ship, with 27,500 tonnes of MOP, will reach the port on Tuesday night. The company has entered into a one-year contract with Belarus Kali in the erstwhile Soviet Republic for the cargo. The imported material will be sent to Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana from next week by rail in bags.

SEA wants industry representation in committee on edible oil adulteration
In an ongoing debate against adulteration in edible oils, Solvent Extractors’ Association of India (SEA) has flagged the lack of industry representation in a committee formed by the Centre to look into the alleged adulteration in mustard oil.
The industry has recommended the government to ban the sale of loose edible oils with effective and strict implementation of the law.
“somehow the law has never been implemented. The problem of adulteration can be very easily tackled by strict implementation of ban on Sale of Loose Oils. But over the years, extension after extension has been given and the implementation has remained only on paper,” said Atul Chaturvedi, SEA Chairman, in a letter written to the SEA members.
