Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport) recorded a 13 percent year-on-year growth in coriander handling during the June–November 2025 season, managing a total of 5,904 metric tonnes, as India’s domestic agri trade continued to strengthen.

The airport handled steady coriander movement across 22 domestic destinations during the season, reflecting sustained demand. Volumes to northern and central markets increased, with Lucknow, Varanasi and Jaipur registering notable growth.

Kolkata accounted for the largest share of coriander traffic, followed by Delhi, Bagdogra, Ranchi and Patna, indicating continued demand across eastern and northern consumption centres.

“BLR Airport takes a careful approach to moving fresh food. That is why coriander is never treated as just another garnish. This season, 5,904 MT of coriander moved through BLR Airport, marking a 13 percent year-on-year growth. With strong demand from Lucknow, Varanasi, and Jaipur, and new routes added across the network, fresh produce continued to move reliably and at scale.”

To support changing demand patterns and expanding domestic corridors, BLR Airport also facilitated coriander shipments to five additional destinations namely Agartala, Agra, Nagpur, Amritsar and Port Blair during the season.
