Manipur Organic Mission Agency (MOMA) Project Director and Horticulture & Soil Conservation Additional Director K Devdutta Sharma told The Sangai Express that the fair would go a long way in further popularising the organic produces of Manipur which have received GI tags and in creating a business avenue.
Many promising foreign customers have been enquiring about Chak-hao.
They have also evinced keen interest to open big businesses on Chak-hao and other organic produces of Manipur, Devdutta said.
Although the Manipur stall is small, quite a large number of people/customers have been thronging the stall every day, he said.
MOMA Member Secretary and Horticulture & Soil Conservation Director Honey Chara, Horticulture & Soil Conservation Deputy Director Aribam Ponika Devi and MOMA Project Officer Donald Soubam are also taking part in the fair.
