Tripura's Dergang Farmer Producer Organisation has exported 1 metric tonne of mustard honey to Dubai, marking the first-ever international shipment of the product from the state. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry announced the development on Monday, adding that the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority facilitated the export. Agriculture Minister Ratan Lal Nath called the shipment a significant achievement that opens new income avenues for beekeepers. The initiative was supported by Salt Range Foods Pvt Ltd, which helped build an export-oriented honey supply chain. The ministry said the move could encourage more farmer producer organisations in the North East to focus on quality and exports.
