Imphal, September 13 2015:
Local wines Andro, Sekmai and Phayeng, of Manipur are likely to get patent right soon.
JNS Venture Pvt Ltd, Imphal promoter Thokchom Jotin claimed this on Sunday during a discussion programme on 'how to export the Manipur local wines to foreign countries' .
Manipur wines are not less in quality comparing to foreign liquors, said Jotin at the programme organised by the JNS Venture Pvt Ltd at Panam Ningthou Sanglen, Andro in Imphal East.
He said the State is losing huge revenue as its local wines are not exporting to other States and countries.
The JNS Venture has been making maximum efforts to export them and now there is a high chance to get the patent right, Jotin claimed.
He informed that local wines will be showcased in the World Food Festival to be held from October 10-15 in Germany and a team of JNS Venture will be leaving Manipur for Germany for the purpose.
The programme was also attended by Andro village chief Yumkhaibam Shital, Sanapokpa Chakpa Andro chief Meihoubirol Pana Loisang Chingakham Gandhar, social scientist Dhanabir Laishram and many others.
