BRAVES Enterprise Honoured by the Chief Minister of Meghalaya for Pioneering Lakadong Turmeric’s Global Launch in Partnership with Mt. Meru (USA)

THE SHILLONG TIMES

SHILLONG, Dec 16: On Wednesday evening a webinar hosted by the Agriculture Department saw the inauguration of a joint venture between the turmeric farmer groups from Meghalaya under a local entrepreneur with the brand name BRAVES and Mt. Meru a company from San Diego for marketing Lakadong Turmeric in Nutraceutical form for the US market.

Chief Minister Conrad Sangma attended the webinar although he was not well having tested COVID positive and with saline drip in his right hand.

“The reason I have joined this webinar despite my ill health is because I am excited about this venture. Meghalaya has a very diverse agro-climatic condition which also means crop diversity. It is the gene pool of Citrus indica, the pitcher plant, and recently the glowing mushroom. Meghalaya has immense treasures to share with the world and what Mt Meru and BRAVES have done today by way of turning turmeric into FDA approved nutraceutical tablet will bring huge benefits to the world and will even help build immunity against Covid,” the chief minister said adding that this new venture will also benefit the farmers.
