The initiative was officially inaugurated by Union Minister for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) <strong>Jyotiraditya M. Scindia<\/strong>, along with Tripura Chief Minister <strong>Manik Saha<\/strong>. The mission aims to transform Tripura\u2019s famous <strong>GI-tagged Queen Pineapple<\/strong> into a globally competitive agricultural brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8C_Objective_of_the_Mission\"><\/span>\ud83d\udccc Objective of the Mission<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary objective of the mission is to strengthen the entire pineapple <strong>value chain ecosystem<\/strong>\u2014from cultivation to export. It focuses on increasing farmer income, reducing post-harvest losses, and improving market access through modern infrastructure and technology-driven solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8C_Value_Chain_and_Infrastructure_Development\"><\/span>\ud83d\udccc Value Chain and Infrastructure Development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under this mission, a <strong>hub-and-spoke model<\/strong> will be established. A central hub near Agartala Airport and multiple collection centres across pineapple-growing districts like West Tripura, Khowai, and Sepahijala will be developed. These facilities will include <strong>cold storage units, grading centres, reefer transport systems, and digital traceability tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8C_Processing_and_Bio-economy_Focus\"><\/span>\ud83d\udccc Processing and Bio-economy Focus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mission also includes revival of the <strong>Nalkata Pineapple Processing Unit<\/strong> under a Viability Gap Funding model. Additionally, nearly 60% of pineapple plant waste will be used for value-added products like <strong>bromelain extraction and pineapple leaf fibre products<\/strong>, promoting a circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8C_Farmer_Welfare_and_Global_Branding\"><\/span>\ud83d\udccc Farmer Welfare and Global Branding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative will directly benefit small and marginal farmers who currently receive low farmgate prices. It aims to convert Tripura\u2019s Queen Pineapple into a <strong>global premium brand<\/strong>, boosting exports and rural employment opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
