Dimapur, November 5 (MTNews): Dr. Aotoshi, Advisor BAN; CEO of Window Media, and Chairman of the Echahaba Tea Growers Cooperation Society Ltd, said that agriculture has long been the source and strength of Nagaland’s economy, with various institutions holding technologies or crops to its name.
He stated this on Friday at the 2nd session of the ongoing trade fair at NER Agri Expo.
According to him, Nagaland is in an ideal location, with both plains and hills that cater to different needs. He maintained that the state has the potential to provide the best of both worlds, whether fresh or processed, wild or farmed.
He emphasized the importance of value addition, improved logistics, and market exploration – both near and far.
