Started their juice processing plant in October, 2024, since then, the Unit sold their juice products of 13 different fruit species which are made available in local vendors’ shops.
The RAFA Pro Biotic Juice plant was officially inaugurated on 18th October, 2024 by Pu B. Lalzarzova, District Horticulture Officer, Lunglei, and several quantities of the products were also released for free sale to vendors. The inaugural programme attended by Pu R.

Lalrambeiseia, District Co-0rdinator, NEIDA, Lunglei District with his Colleagues and several farmers of Banana and Dragon fruit.
The Juice production plant requires not the best quality of fruit for quality juice production but also inferior ones which are classified as ‘B’ grade and below. Therefore, raw material requirement of Juice Plant dynamically covers almost all kinds of fruit farmers at any level.
The Horticulture Department recommended this Entrepreneurs to avail available appropriate Schemes to the Department of Commerce & Industries in order to enlarge and upgrade their production unit, and it is hoped that the Unit will grow in a larger dimension with intervention of relevant Agencies with available Govt. assistance / Loan.
