Pineapples collected by Thayong Farmer Producer Company Limited from farmers were procured and sent to Dubai under a joint initiative of Directorate of Horticulture and Soil Conservation, Manipur Organic Mission Agency and Agricultural and Processed Fruit Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
These pineapples would be sold in Dubai by Lulu Group International in their supermarkets, Vaiphei said.
