Produce / Partner
Either cultivate on leased/owned land (2-5 acres minimum) with guidance from District Agriculture Office, Tirap, or partner with 10-15 micro-farmers under contract farming model. Implement organic practices per GI certification standards; processing can be done at shared community processing units in Depo or Longding towns.
