The goal: to overcome the shortage in the local market. So, broccoli and cauliflower arrive this weekend by plane. Peppers, among others, will follow later. These vegetables were imported by the company SKC Surat South Africa. However, the importer says they cost more because of transportation costs.

They will be on the market as this weekend. Broccoli and cauliflower, conspicuously absent from recent market stalls have been imported by the company SKC Surat South Africa. It has obtained the necessary permits to 300 kilos each vegetable come. Other vegetables were imported to cope with the shortage in the local market. However, they will be more expensive because of transport costs.

This is what said the director of the company, Suren Surat, which is why the cost of freight is high. Especially when the vegetables arrive by plane. For example, it indicates that the importation of a kilo of vegetables flight costs Rs 50, then by boat, it is Rs 20.

The company SKC Surat other vegetables also expected in the coming days, a cargo of 600 kilos of red, green and yellow peppers.
