East Siang's Pasighat belt grows tropical fruit (orange, banana, pineapple) plus the district hosts Adi tribal handloom traditions producing distinctive cotton textiles with horizontal patterns. Both economies underperform: fruit at distress prices during peak; textiles fragmented at household scale. A combined producer setup running fruit pulp/juice processing plus an Adi handloom cooperative organises 40-60 women weavers and reaches D2C and metro retail at 4-6× regional prices.
Capex of ₹8-18 lakh covers small fruit-processing equipment plus shared handloom workshop with looms and finishing area. MIDH (horticulture infrastructure) and NHDP (handloom cluster development) jointly fund up to 60% capex. Hard parts: managing two distinct producer ecosystems, design adaptation for handloom (without losing Adi character), and shipping logistics from Pasighat. Start with fruit processing (faster cash flow); add handloom cluster in year 2.
