Razak Dawood said hat simultaneously with the building of the scanner, a particular shed at the airport would also be constructed where the export shipments of fruits could be stored and protected from the weather.

He said the Ministry of Commerce had released Rs. 1,154 million for the non-textiles sector, and Rs. 1,346 million for the textiles sector, a total of R. 2,500 million under Duty Drawback on Local Taxes and Levies (DLTL) schemes.
