  • The programme follows a cluster-based model with two pilot coffee clusters identified in the state.
  • Tuophema has been selected for Arabica coffee cultivation, while Ghotovi has been chosen for Robusta coffee cultivation.
  • The initiative also aims to establish the “Brand North East – Coffees of Nagaland” through media campaigns, trade fairs and experiential coffee tourism.
  • The programme will promote coffee farm stays and farm-to-cup tourism experiences in the pilot clusters.
