Shivraj Singh Chouhan attended the 'Meghalaya Pineapple Festival-2025' in New Delhi today. On this occasion, Chief Minister of Meghalaya Shri Conrad K. Sangma and senior officials of the Centre and the State were also present.
The event started with the exchange of various Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) on pineapple. Thereafter, the Union Minister released a booklet on 'Meghalaya's progress in agriculture sector'.
Speaking on the occasion, Union Agriculture Minister Shri Shivraj Singh said that pineapples from Meghalaya are distinct in terms of taste and quality. He lauded the farmers and people of Meghalaya for their hard work and sincerity. Agricultural products including fruits, spices, turmeric, ginger, coffee, tea, jackfruit and mushroom of the state are of world class quality. Most of them are organic and need urgent promotion at global stage.
The Union Minister said that the Central Government will work in collaboration with the Chief Minister and senior officials of the state for exporting products from North East region outside the state and abroad. Private sector can also play a key role in this regard. It’s really heartening to see that the state government is giving thrust into it via MoUs.
