India Launches Rs 167 Crore Mission to Develop Organic Kiwi Sector in Arunachal Pradesh

The Indian government has launched 'Mission Arunachal Kiwi: The USP of Arunachal Pradesh,' a Rs 167 crore initiative to develop a comprehensive organic kiwi value chain in Arunachal Pradesh. The mission aims to empower farmers by improving cultivation, post-harvest management, branding, exports, and agri-tourism. Arunachal produces over 50% of India's kiwi, but farmers face low prices due to limited infrastructure. The project includes establishing integrated hubs and enhancing market access to boost farmer incomes and position the state globally.
