What you get
Mission Queen Pineapple is a ₹236 crore Tripura government initiative to develop the GI-tagged Queen Pineapple variety into a global agricultural brand by strengthening the entire value chain from cultivation to export. It funds improved planting material, post-harvest infrastructure (collection centres, pack-houses, cold-chain links), processing facilities, and market linkages including export promotion. The mission specifically targets reducing post-harvest losses (historically very high for pineapple in the state), improving quality grading, and connecting growers to organised buyers and export channels rather than only local mandis. Pineapple growers, FPOs and cooperatives in pineapple-growing belts of Tripura (notably West Tripura and Sepahijala districts) are the primary beneficiaries.
