Tripura on Thursday exported nearly 9,909 tonnes of pineapples worth Rs 14 crore to Dubai, Qatar and Bangladesh.
 
Tripura’s Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Pranajit Singha Roy said besides pineapples, Tripura also exported various other fruits and horticultural products to England, Germany and many other countries.
 
The state annually produces 1.28 lakh tonnes of two major varieties -- Kew and Queen -- of pineapples in 8,800 hectares.
