The initiative is also expected to encourage more farmers to adopt export-oriented cultivation and improve production standards.
The export of GI-tagged Assam lemon to Dubai is being seen as a symbol of the region’s agricultural potential and a step toward greater international recognition for Northeast Indian products.
