The transport of the first waterway consignment consisting of 40 metric tonnes of processed pineapples was initiated by Tripura CM Biplab Deb. The pineapples would be exported from the industrial growth centre located at Kumarghat in the Unokoti district of Tripura to Hamburg in Germany. The move is aimed at reducing the cost of commercial transport to the international market by utilizing waterways.
While speaking at the flagging off ceremony organized at Kumarghat in the Unakoti district of Tripura, Biplab Deb said, “the sense of self-reliance is imbued among the people of the state.
Women, as well as men, are taking part in productive activities across the state which indicates that the state’s growth is on the right track.”
Particularly, Biplab Deb appreciated the previously neglected pineapple farmers of the Darchai and Nalkata villages of the Darlong community.
Queen #Pineapple 🍍 is #Tripura's pride. The sweet taste & aroma of Tripura’s pineapples make them unique from those grown anywhere else in the world. It is a matter of great honour that Hon'ble #PresidentKovind ji himself declared it as our State Fruit today. @rashtrapatibhvn pic.twitter.com/QIZaQIkyLK
The Darlong families were encouraged...
