The mega oil plantation drive organized between July & August, 2023 witnessed participation from the North East (NE) states – Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Mizoram, and Nagaland. A green revolution is sweeping across Northeast India, bringing not just economic promise but a beacon of hope for farmers.
The Mega Oil Palm Plantation Drive, spanning 19 districts and covering 750 hectares, is not merely a cultivation effort; it’s a lifeline for the agricultural community.The aim is clear – to foster domestic crude palm oil production and uplift the spirits of those tilling the land.
Sougata Niyogi, CEO of Oil Palm Plantation Business, shares a heartening perspective, “This endeavor goes beyond crops; it’s about cultivating dreams. Each Oil Palm tree planted represents a story of resilience and aspirations for a brighter future.”What makes this initiative especially noteworthy is its eco-friendly approach. “Oil Palm requires less water compared to sugarcane and paddy crops,” Niyogi explains, “and with the North East receiving abundant rainfall, it’s not just about planting seeds; it’s about nurturing possibilities.”
