APEDA and the Animal Quarantine and Certification Services (AQCS) expedited the certification process and facilitated trial “First ever shipment of eggs” from Namakkal in Tamil Nadu to Malaysia.”

Around 90,000 eggs were airlifted from Tiruchirapalli airport on December 14 and it landed in Malaysia in the morning hours of yesterday.

accepted by Malaysians.
