Agreeing to the need of a ‘cold storage’ at the District Hq, the Minister said that a farm-end solar based cold storage would be more ideal for a place like Ziro rather than the power-driven conventional cold storage.
Lower Subansiri Deputy Commissioner Bamin Nime emphasized on the need for ‘vocal for local’ and urged the local unemployed youth to take up farming seriously to earn their livelihoods. Some of our unemployed youth can take up horticulture farming and set up MSME units to produce kiwi wine, juice and dried fruits which are in high demands within and outside the state, he said, while pledging Rs one lakh from his untied fund for maintenance of Tara’s farm.

Meanwhile, Hage Tara informed that Ziro Valley with an ideal geographical height elevation was best suited for cultivation of kiwi and eastern fruits. My orchard is located at 2000 mtrs above sea level while average elevation height of Ziro Plateau is 3000 mtrs above sea level which is best suited for kiwi and eastern fruits cultivation, he explained, while expressing gratefulness to the State Govt. for encouraging farmers like him by providing Govt. incentives.
