Arunachal Pradesh is setting new benchmarks in agricultural innovation and economic sustainability. Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Pema Khandu recently laid the foundation stone for the Centre of Excellence for Kiwi Fruit at Kardo, Lower Subansiri District an initiative designed to transform the state’s kiwi sector.
,
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.

3. Storage and Transport:- Kiwi fruits have excellent keeping quality and can be stored for a
month at room temperature or 4-5 months in cold storage, allowing for a longer supply to the
market.

1. Harvest Time:- Kiwis are harvested when they mature, typically from November to December
in higher elevation areas and earlier, around mid-October to early November at lower
elevations.
2. Market Advantage:- The October-to-December season is often a good time to sell kiwis
because itis a quieter period for other fruits in the Indian market.

The main kiwi harvest season in India spans from October to December with fruits picked between mid-October and December, depending on the specific elevation and variety. This period takes advantage of a "lean period" for other fruits, making kiwi a unique offering in the Indian market.

To "make" the foundation stone, the event itself involves laying an already prepared stone as a symbolic gesture to mark the commencement of construction for the Centre of Excellence for Kiwi Fruit at Kardo. This ceremony, which was recently conducted, included laying a physical stone to inaugurate the project, which is a significant initiative for the region.
