Mission Arunachal Kiwi

Why it matters

Supports kiwi-growing farmers with better orchards, pack-houses and an official organic brand so their fruit can fetch a higher price in national and export markets.

What you get

Mission Arunachal Kiwi is a state initiative to build a globally competitive, organic kiwi value chain, given that Arunachal Pradesh is India's largest kiwi-producing state and the first to receive organic certification for the fruit. The mission supports expansion of high-density kiwi orchards, establishment of pack houses and pre-cooling units, GI tagging and organic certification assistance, and development of the unified "Arunachal Organic Kiwi" brand along with dedicated export channels, helping growers access better prices and wider markets for their produce.
