Equipped with modern facilities such as protected cultivation, a hi-tech nursery, mother and demo blocks, R&D initiatives, post-harvest and value-addition infrastructure, training modules, and essential utilities, the Centre will act as a catalyst for growth.
Beyond boosting production, this initiative promises to empower farmers with knowledge, create livelihoods, and open fresh market opportunities for Arunachal’s produce. The state is poised to emerge as India’s kiwi capital by focusing on value addition and advanced practices.

In which season do kiwi fruits grow in India?
In India, kiwi fruits are harvested between October and December. The ideal time for planting kiwi plants, which are typically propagated from cuttings or grafts, is during the spring or early monsoon season such as January, to ensure they can establish themselves well before the fruit begins to grow.
