Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said that 18 metric tonnes of GI-tagged ‘Mithila Makhana’ was exported for the first time from Bihar to Australia via sea route.

The consignment, procured directly from farmers in Darbhanga, has provided them with nearly 18 per cent more profit compared to the market price, Goyal posted on social media platform X.
