Theog – Himachal Pradesh’s thriving horticulture sector is poised for international acclaim as Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu takes strides to allure investors from Dubai. The recent inauguration of the state-of-the-art Parala Fruit Processing Plant, coupled with diplomatic discussions during the Chief Minister’s visit to Dubai, signals a pivotal moment for the region’s agricultural prowess on the global stage.
During the inauguration ceremony, Chief Minister Sukhu shared insights into his appeal to Dubai investors, urging them to explore the vast potential of marketing Himachal’s horticulture products in the Middle East.
