Import from China to Kerala
Kerala's Kochi Port is an important gateway on the south-west coast and is positioned on one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. The port is growing as a transshipment hub. Kerala's import profile includes consumer electronics (high NRI remittance income drives demand), spice processing machinery, rubber equipment, and construction materials.
Kochi Port's ICTT (International Container Transshipment Terminal) makes it a regional transshipment hub for south Asian cargo.
