For Lakadong Turmeric, Meghalaya Brand 'Na Kper' Wins Silver Innovations Award

SHILLONG: The Silver Innovations Award went to Meghalaya's 'Na Kper: Home Garden's Harvest' for their Lakadong Turmeric, whereas fellow Meghalaya business, 'Dalade,' made the top ten for their Ginger Infused Honey.

SIAL India, one of the country's largest B2B food expos, opened on Thursday in New Delhi's Pragati Maidan. The event will run through December 11 and, based on the turnout on Day 1, is projected to attract over 20,000 people.

For the second time, Meghalaya has joined SIAL India as a partner state, showcasing 17 chosen products from the state.

According to the Chief Minister's Office, the emphasis items are prepared from produce that is mostly cultivated chemical-free, collected using traditional ways, and then processed utilising old knowledge with a bit of a twist (CMO). 

The focus is entirely on Lakadong turmeric, ginger, sticky rice types, honey, and widely cultivated items, but companies selling innovative goods such as ginger-infused honey, wild orange pickle, turmeric chocolates, jackfruit in brine, and many more are attracting visitors to the Meghalaya Pavilion.

Meghalaya Chief Secretary Rebecca Suchiang, along with some other luminaries such as APEDA Chairman Dr M Angamuthu, Deputy High Commissioner Embassy of Canada and A Strohan, Deputy Head of Mission at the Austrian Embassy M Radosztics, launched SIAL India on Thursday. E Fajole, Trade Commissioner and Director of Business France for South Asia at the Paris Embassy, and Dr D. Vijay Kumar, Commissioner and Secretary to the Government of Meghalaya, were also in attendance.
