Arunachal Pradesh has shipped its first consignment of Mebo pineapples and lemons to Sikkim, marking a milestone after the signing of an inter‑state Memorandum of Understanding.
Arunachal Pradesh has dispatched its inaugural batch of Mebo pineapples and lemons to the neighboring state of Sikkim, following the recent signing of an inter‑state Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The agreement, aimed at boosting trade and agricultural collaboration, has now seen its first tangible outcome.
The consignment, transported by road, carries fresh Mebo pineapples and lemons sourced from Arunachal’s farms. While the exact quantity remains undisclosed, the shipment represents a significant step toward regularizing fruit trade between the two states.
Officials from Arunachal’s Department of Agriculture noted that the MoU will facilitate smoother logistics and market access for local farmers. The move is expected to open new avenues for Arunachal’s horticultural produce in Sikkim’s markets.
Looking ahead, both states plan to explore further agricultural exchanges, potentially expanding the range of products and strengthening economic ties across the region.
