Exporting from North East India

The trial shipment of Spices from North East India contained Lakadong Turmeric, found in Meghalaya’sJaintia Hills. It is known as the world's best turmeric due to its high curcumin content and several health benefits. This turmeric was processed through a project led by woman entrepreneur MrsMonalisha Baruaof Miha Trading. The shipment also included other items such as organic ginger powder, prepared by Meghalaya Government establishments and Meghalaya green tea which was identified, tested, and proposed by Ms RickmaiShangma of Garo Hills.  Besides these, the shipment contained Assam’s green tea blended with Rose, Jasmin, and Chemomile; Black CTC high-grown tea; and Assam orthodox tea.  The shipment also carried Makhana ‘fox nut’, known as a superfood.  The lotus seed makhana is an ancient Indian food, cultivated since prehistoric times in the Indian state of Bihar. Makhana, due to its different nutritional and healing properties, is extremely useful for those suffering from high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. It is also known to contain an anti-ageing enzyme. This export product project was led by a female college student Ms Anwesha Yadav of Don Bosco, Guwahati, Assam.
