Union Minister for the Development of North Eastern Region, Jyotiraditya Scindia, today participated in the High-Level Task Force Meeting on Agriculture and Horticulture in New Delhi. The meeting – convened by Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang – focused on strengthening the agri-horti ecosystem by leveraging the region’s inherent strengths, with specialisation, quality, and the ability to stand out as the unique selling proposition of agri-horti products.

The discussion reaffirmed that a cluster-driven strategy would enable measurable and sustainable outcomes, strengthen market linkages, reduce inefficiencies across the value chain, and ensure long-term income enhancement for farmers across the North Eastern Region. The importance of charting a clear roadmap that progresses from foundational interventions to full-scale value chain integration was also deliberated upon during the meeting.
