Organic pineapples produced in the Cachar district of Assam will be made available in the markets in Karnataka. This sale is a part of the Organic Mission of the Department of Horticulture of the Government of Assam.
A huge consignment of the pineapples produced in the region was transported heading for the South Indian state of Karnataka. The first consignment of this lot consisting of 12 Metric Tons was flagged off from Silchar on the last Monday. The buyer of the consignment is IQF Food Pvt. Ltd. registered in the Karnataka. And the pineapples were produced by the Hmar Agro Organic Producer Company Ltd. registered in Cachar district of Assam.
The pineapples produced in the region are known for their taste. But local produce rarely get a good price in the local markets. Selling them at a different location which does not produce these fruits for higher prices bring more profits to the farmers. Expressing his happiness about this deal, the chief minister of Assam asked the producers to concentrate more on large scale production and marketing of their products. This way, more and more people and enterprises will be able to learn more about the products available here.
Also lemons from the Baksa district of Assam were also exported to Great Britain few days back.
