Manipur organic outlet to be opened in Dubai.
May 26, 2022

Manipur Organic Mission Agency (MOMA) mission director and horticulture & soil conservation additional director K Debadutta Sharma has revealed that plans are afoot for opening an outlet in Dubai this year for sale of Manipur's organic produce as well as exporting state's pineapple.
 
Speaking to TPC on Tuesday, K Debadutta Sharma informed that the government in last few years has been taking up initiatives to increase production of organic produce and to raise the income of organic farmers under Mission Organic Value Chain Development for North Eastern Region (MOVCDNER).
 
Under the scheme, there has been increase in production of organic pineapple, lemon, orange, ghost pepper (U-morok), ginger, turmeric and Chakhao in the state, he added.
 
Debadutta continued that the organic produces are being exported due to high demand for them outside the state.
 
Under the scheme, state representatives have been attending numerous national and international expos and buyer-seller meets which have led to more and more countries ordering state's organic produce with the only issue being the state not being able to meet the demands, the additional director disclosed.
 
He also mentioned that from this year onwards under the aegis of horticulture & soil conservation minister Letpao Haokip, state's farmer producer companies (FPCs) will be able to export organic pineapple directly to Dubai instead of earlier process of exporting it through agencies of other states.
 
Debadutta also informed that two FPCs of the state have received import-export licence for exporting state's organic produces namely, Thayong Organic Producers Private Company Limited and Chak-hao Poireiton Farmer Producer Company, Imphal West.
 
These two companies have been registered under Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) and received permits to export products to other countries.
 
Organic outlets have been opened in Pune and Bengaluru to market state's produce and a place has been identified to open such an outlet in Delhi also.
 
Plans are also afoot for opening state's organic outlet in a supermarket in Dubai, he reiterated.
 
Debadutta further said that Dubai authorities have completed tests of state's organic Chak-hao and as it has successfully cleared the tests, the authorities have given approval for its import.
