CM Pema Khandu underlines Arunachal's potential for trade.
May 25, 2022
Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu asserted that the state has huge domestic and international potential for trade as it shares borders with countries like Tibet (China), Myanmar and Bhutan.
He said in tandem with Government of India’s focus on Neighbourhood First Policy, the state’s trade relations can be further improved by using connectivity links like Pangsau Pass (with Myanmar) in the East and Lumla-Tashigang road (with Bhutan) in the west.
'By 2047, we should aim to make Arunachal Pradesh as a Gateway of Trade with our neighbours,' he said.
Khandu was speaking at the inaugural session of the one-day International Buyer Seller Meet (IBSM) at the DK Convention Centre
IBSM is being held for the second time in Arunachal Pradesh by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), an apex body of Ministry of Commerce, to promote exports of potential agricultural and processed food products from Arunachal Pradesh and provide market linkage to producers. The first such meet in the state was held in 2019.
The ‘short distance market’, he said is the existing market within the state, which needs to be further strengthened by roping in the Indian Army and paramilitary forces, who are posted in the state in huge numbers, as potential buyers.
'While under the ‘middle distance market’ we can work on developing markets with rest of the country including states in the North East, we need to explore and open marketing avenues with neighboring countries,' Khandu explained.
Emphasizing on the need to promote sustainable and organic agriculture in the state, Khandu informed with only 17 persons per SqKm population density, Arunachal Pradesh has huge stretches of fertile land for cultivation.
'From the foothills to the snow-clad mountains, we have all the weather conditions suitable for agriculture and horticulture produces. And as we are geographically the largest state in the North East, we have ample scope to focus and improve in this sector,' he said.
He informed the gathering that the state government’s basic focus is on building a Atma Nirbhar Arunachal Pradesh by strengthening agriculture and allied sectors, enhancing the quality of output and improving livelihoods of the dependent population.
'By launching AtmaNirbhar Krishi Yojana and AtmaNirbhar Bagwani Yojana – two unique schemes wherein of the total project cost 40% is borne by the state govt, 40% provided as credit linkage from banks and only 20% contributed by the farmer – we aim to make Arunachal self-sufficient in food grains and emerge as fruit bowl of the country,' he said.
Underscoring the importance of GI (Geographical Indication) tag, which has become a powerful tool to depict the uniqueness and distinct characteristic of the product, while competing in the international market, Khandu requested the departments concerned to persue GI tagging of products in coordination with APEDA.
'Our Arunachal Oranges have received GI tag. We are the largest producers of Kiwi in the country and we have started exporting several other fruits. In order to popularise unique products from the state we should work towards identifying more such local products from agri-horti, textiles and handloom sectors which can be GI tagged,' he suggested.
