Meghalaya Exports Processed Turmeric to Singapore, Boosting Value Addition
What happened
The International Fund for Agricultural Development president flagged off a consignment of fresh Megha-1 turmeric from Meghalaya for export to Singapore. The shipment originated from the Eastern Ri-Bhoi Organic Farmer Producer Company Ltd Prime Hub. This hub supports producer collectives in shifting from selling raw agricultural produce to marketing high-value processed spices.
