Manipur Organic Mission Agency (MOMA) under the supervision of Chief Minister N Biren Singh, who is also in-charge of Horticulture Department, airlifted 500 kg of queen variety pineapple to Pune on Wednesday.
The pineapples, which were produced by Thayong Organic Producer Company Limited, Yaripok, are being exported for Keithel Agency set up by Pan Corporation.
Speaking in this regard, MOMA project officer Dr L Jeevit informed that another consignment of 500 kg of pineapples will be exported soon.
Thayong Organic Producer Company chairman Hijam Dhiren appreciated the efforts of MOMA, while adding that pineapples produced in the state are highly preferred outside the state and as such, efforts are being made to increase production.
