Agartala (Tripura) [India], June 30 : Pineapple farmers in Tripura have achieved a significant milestone with the dispatch of a record-breaking 30 metric tons (MT) of pineapples.
This landmark development, spearheaded by the Sheel Biotech Team in collaboration with the Tripura State Organic Farming Development Agency (TSOFDA), marks a major step forward for the region's agricultural sector.
This significant initiative was carried out in partnership with Thalaither Organic Producer Company Limited, located in Dhalai District, under the auspices of MOVCD-NER Phase III.
