This report on floriculture in Sikkim seeks to identify specific barriers which hinder exports of flowers from Sikkim. As a part of the study, a primary survey was undertaken of producers for recording their socio- economic profile. This would assist in designing and implementing interventions for targeted segments of the producers, taking into account their situation and limitations. The varied nature of interventions requires close coordination between multiple agencies. UNCTAD India project endeavours to provide a platform for synergizing efforts of different agencies for promoting exports of flowers from Sikkim.
In the background of perceived threat of milk products from neighboring countries to Assam and other North Eastern states of India besides scope of enhancing export competitiveness of local processors, the current study was sponsored by the project to record cost of production of cow milk in commercial units and the quality at the existing cost in an around 100 km radius of Guwahati city- the gate way to N E India. Study was also aimed at identifying intervening notes from the findings, so as to reduce the cost and improve quality of milk at producers’ level for enhancing their competitiveness.
