Nagaland commercializes Zanthoxylum, sends 0.5 tonne to Dabur

• Nagaland sent its first 0.5-tonne consignment of Zanthoxylum (Michinga) seeds to Dabur India Limited in Tezpur, Assam.
• The initiative, flagged off by Chief Secretary Sentiyanger Imchen, aims to commercialize Nagaland's medicinal plants through a partnership between NBRM and Dabur.
• Nagaland could only supply 1.5 tonnes this year, despite Dabur requiring 10 tonnes, highlighting the need for increased production volume.
• Dabur India Ltd. sees major potential in Nagaland for medicinal herbs, spices, and fruits, and is committed to supporting local growers.

Why It Matters: Nagaland's Zanthoxylum supply to Dabur commercializes state bio-resources, aiding farmers.
