Meghalaya exports 20 metric tons of Khasi Mandarin to Dubai.
Dec 13, 2023
Meghalaya has exported 20 metric tons of Khasi Mandarin to Dubai.
The Directorate of Horticulture and Meghalaya State Agricultural Marketing Board orchestrated the flagging off ceremony of 20 metric tons of Khasi Mandarin to Dubai.
Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Ampareen Lyngdoh expressed, 'At one point of time, we would only on a trial, internationally export 1.5 MT to 2 MT of mandarin alone; today we are talking of 20 MT. This step will instill a sense of security with our farmers telling them that we will grow together, we will benefit together. They (farmers) are going to be dictating our economy.. The next biggest challenge that we have before us which we have to handhold all our farmer groups is to get back to natural farming practices. The Organic Mission needs to be attended to. We have to reclaim our confidence in the farming communities. We will do what it takes to sensitize, educate, expose, and financially assist our farmers.'
Isawanda Laloo, Secretary, Department of Agriculture said, 'Our unique agro-climatic condition reflects that we have a huge array of variable fruits, and crops; and, we want to capitalize on these. Given that many of our farmers still cultivate in the traditional way, there is huge opportunity for us to capture the growing organic consumer-based market in the entire world.'
Stakeholders are optimistic about the positive impact this venture will have on the livelihoods of farmers and the overall economic development of Meghalaya. Sunita Rai, Deputy GM APEDA in charge of NER, in her address stated, 'This is a stepping stone to success. I hope that in the days to come, from 20 MT, we can sustain to commercial shipment. We should be proud of some other local fruits which we aim to popularize.'
Ravi Kumar, Senior GM, Lulu Group International, in his address, emphasized, 'Last year, we promoted hardly one ton of Khasi Mandarin from Meghalaya, this year we are going to export 20 tons of Khasi Mandarin. I am expecting at least we should add one more zero next year because zero does not have value but if we put in the right place, we can have a lot of value. Automatically, the dollars will come to Meghalaya state and the lifestyle of the farmers will increase.'
The Farmer Producer Company (FPC)/groups where the Khasi Mandarin is being sourced is from Jirang FPC - Ri Bhoi, Tomdaksan FPO Multipurpose Co-operative Society Limited – East Garo Hills, Gangga IVCS – West Garo Hills, Nongsteng IVCS – South West Khasi Hills, Narwang MPCS – East Jaintia Hills, Nongkdait Nongtwah IVCS – East Khasi Hills, Durama MPCS – West Garo Hills, Rongmil IVCS – East Garo Hills.
In a significant stride towards sustainable market linkage, the Agriculture Marketing Board entered an MoU with the Lulu Group on 3rd November 2023.This strategic partnership aims to foster mutual growth and promote Meghalaya's agricultural products in the GCC countries, expanding global reach.
Following this agreement, the Agriculture Marketing Board, with the Directorate of Horticulture, worked closely with farmers' groups to facilitate Mandarin export. The Lulu Group will receive the first 20 Metric Tons, with 2 Metric Tons already shipped for the Dubai market, marking a significant milestone with the ceremonial flag-off today.
