The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has inaugurated two Rural Haats in Namsai and Wakro, marking an important step toward strengthening rural livelihoods in Arunachal Pradesh.
These haats will provide improved market access for local farmers and Self-Help Groups (SHGs), enabling them to sell their produce directly and enhance their income opportunities.
The initiative is being implemented by NOSAAP Producer Company in collaboration with Rumai Primary Level Federation under the Arunachal State Rural Livelihoods Mission. It reflects a broader commitment to empowering rural communities, promoting local products, and fostering grassroots entrepreneurship.

What are the advantages of local markets?
Local products typically require less packaging. When we buy from a local market, the emphasis is on freshness and quality rather than long shelf life. This results in less reliance on plastic packaging and preservatives, thereby reducing waste and environmental pollution.
