Mission Arun Himveer boosts market linkage for Arunachal’s agri-horti produce
Mission Arun Himveer took off with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Arunachal Pradesh Agriculture Marketing Board (APAMB) and the Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), North East Frontier.
Under the initiative the state government through APAMB will supply fruits, vegetables, meat and poultry products to the ITBP procured from local farmers, SHGs, FPOs and farmer cooperatives.
This follows the first such understanding made between the state government and the Indian Army in August 2022. Till date around 400 tons of fruits and vegetables worth Rs 72 lakhs were lifted by LAMPS from indigenous farmers for supply to the Indian Army.
The Mission envisages to achieve short term goals of the Marketing Board in providing ready-made markets from far flung villages and circles with low marketable surplus and creating a vibrant economy besides solving employment issues across the state.
Chief Minister Pema Khandu congratulated APAMB for the initiative and expressed optimism that with ITBP agreeing to purchase produces locally produced, the issue of limited market of local farmers will be resolved to a huge extent.
