Anjaw is one of India's remotest districts with abundant wild kiwifruit, forest mushrooms, and aromatic plants. A producer cluster aggregating wild and cultivated produce for D2C wellness retail captures the genuine wild-origin premium.

Anjaw on the Lohit valley near the China border has dense forest cover and traditional Mishmi communities gathering wild kiwi, ferns, mushrooms, and aromatic plants. The forest-produce supply is real but commercial scaling is non-existent. A producer cooperative organising 30–40 households for sustainable wild harvest plus small-scale cultivated kiwi, packaged as single-origin frontier produce, reaches D2C wellness and gourmet retail at premium prices.
Capex of ₹4–10 lakh covers basic processing (washing, sorting, packaging) and a small cold storage. MOVCD-NER (organic NE clusters with up to 75% capex grant) and the NER Forest-based Livelihood scheme cover capex. Hard parts: extreme remoteness — logistics out of Anjaw to Tezu (4-5 hour drive on bad roads), then onward shipping; sustainable wild-harvest training; and reaching premium buyers willing to pay a 'frontier produce' premium. Plan for slow-build over 3-4 years; the brand wedge is real if you commit.
