Nashik, March 12 -- The US-Israel-Iran war has disrupted Indian exports, leading to major financial losses for Indian farmers as well. Four containers of grapes that left Nashik for Dubai have returned to Niphad in Maharashtra's Nashik district. These containers, each filled with 13 metric tons of grapes, have had to be unloaded at the Sangle Agro Process cold storage in Niphad taluka.
Shipping companies have imposed war risk charges, which have increased the cost of transportation significantly. Since grapes are a perishable fruit, they need to reach customers on time. Exporter Akshay Sangle has expressed fear that the goods will spoil due to this delay.
