In Sunday’s ‘Mann ki Baat,’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded Araku Coffee, grown by tribal cooperative groups in India’s Araku Valley and Alluri Sitaramaraju district.
These communities, using organic methods without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, produce a distinct coffee that has achieved international acclaim and numerous awards.
Modi’s praise highlights the cooperative model’s effectiveness in enhancing local economies and preserving traditional methods.
This recognition celebrates not just the global success of Araku Coffee but also the significant contributions of India’s tribal communities to the nation’s cultural and economic landscape.
