The Centre launched the ₹189.79 crore Mizoram Ginger Mission to promote processing, branding and export of Mizo ginger.
The mission was launched with support from the Ministry of Development of the North-Eastern Region (DONER).
The project focuses on value addition, branding, market integration and infrastructure development across the ginger value chain.
The mission includes 1 integrated processing hub, 3 spoke processing centres and more than 30 strategic interventions covering nearly 20,000 farming households.
Mizoram ginger contains 6–8% oleoresin, higher than the global average of around 3%, making it valuable for food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
Thingpui Ginger and Thinglaidum Ginger of Mizoram received Geographical Indication (GI) tags in 2021.
