With the Nagaland government hoping to cover 50,000 hectares of land with coffee cultivation by 2030, efforts are underway to revive the coffee industry in the state following its discontinuation in late 1990s. The state government has secured an agreement with the Coffee Board of India to distribute and sell Nagaland coffee internationally. Currently, Nagaland coffee is exported to countries like South Africa, Bahrain, Dubai, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and SouthEast Asia, with Nagaland Coffee Private Limited serving as the sole exporter of Nagaland coffee.
In a push to this endeavor, the Coffee Roasting Machines program, funded by the North Eastern Council (NEC), was launched today, 16 February, at the Directorate of Land Resources in Kohima, with G Ikuto Zhimomi, Advisor of Land Resources, gracing the event. Expressing his delight, Zhimomi highlighted the resurgence of coffee farming in Nagaland, dating back to its introduction in the 1970s. He commended the efforts to revive the industry, which faced discontinuation in the late 1990s but was reintroduced by the Department of Land Resources in 2014.
“This revival, coupled with proper information dissemination and departmental interest, has positioned Nagaland as a frontrunner in coffee production within the North Eastern region,” the advisor said.
Central to the discourse was Nagaland’s inherent potential as a leading coffee producer, buoyed by its favorable climatic conditions and the crop’s longevity, which spans centuries. Zhimomi envisioned coffee farming as a sustainable alternative to traditional jhum cultivation, drawing parallels with coffee giants like Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, and Ethiopia.
Acknowledging the pivotal role of the Commissioner Secretary Land Resources in supporting farmers, Zhimomi assured assistance to areca nut, coffee, and rubber farmers in securing fair prices and avoiding exploitation by intermediaries. He underscored the commitment of Chief Minister Rio towards farmers’ welfare and envisioned a promising future for them.
It may be noted that as of 2022, Arabica coffee plantations covered around 8,412.49 hectares of land, while Robusta coffee plantations covered 1,419.7 hectares. By 2030, the state government hopes to cover 50,000 hectares of land. Kohima district has the largest coverage of organic coffee plantations with 2649.69 hectares, while Zunheboto district has 1025.9 hectares.
The Coffee Board continues to play a vital role in the industry’s development by providing training to farmers, organizing exposure visits to other states, and facilitating government-supported subsidies through direct benefit transfers.

In these days of austerity and also relative anxiousness about getting debt, many individuals balk contrary to the idea of using a credit card to make purchase of merchandise or maybe pay for any occasion, preferring, instead just to rely on the actual tried and also trusted method of making payment – cash. However, in case you have the cash on hand to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, this is the best time for them to use the credit card for several motives.

mDNS is great until you step outside its very limited use case The primary and most important deficiency IMO: It does not play well with subnets or VLANs It’s possible to bridge, but it’s not easy to get right, let alone to scale And that’s just one of its weaknesses; it’s historically a very unreliable protocolIn short: if you’re just a home user, mDNS will probably be fine If you’re a business user with a network more advanced than an Xbox and a PC? Not just no, but *hell* noI’m honestly surprised that Apple makes it work as well as they do these daysThere’s a reason that your average sysadmin (or devops engineer in the modern) tends to remember IP addresses We’ve had DNS for a very long time, and it’s very reliable — and yet we *still* end up needing to know actual IP addresses far more often than one would like, *even when DNS is fully available* That will not change with IPv6IPv6 just takes it from “easily memorized” to “must have a reference document somewhere… at best”
