The state‑run Meghalaya Mandi app facilitated the shipment of 13 metric tonnes of pineapples from the Garo Hills region to markets in Gujarat, marking a notable intra‑national agricultural trade.
The Meghalaya Mandi mobile platform, launched to connect local growers with buyers across India, recorded a shipment of 13 metric tonnes of pineapples originating from the Garo Hills area. The produce was transported over several days and reached distribution points in Gujarat, where it entered the wholesale market.
The successful movement underscores the growing reliance on digital marketplaces to streamline logistics for perishable goods, reducing the need for intermediaries and cutting transit time. Farmers in the Garo Hills region reported that the app’s transparent pricing and direct buyer access helped secure better returns for their harvest.
Industry observers note that such transactions illustrate the potential for other horticultural commodities from the Northeast to reach distant consumer hubs, enhancing regional income and diversifying supply chains.
The Meghalaya government has highlighted the shipment as a pilot success, indicating plans to expand the app’s coverage to additional crops and states in the coming months.
