Tirap's Nocte Naga community produces distinctive striped handloom textiles, traditional jewelry, and ceremonial shawls; the same households grow indigenous rice varieties at small scale. Both economies operate at subsistence levels. A producer cooperative organising 40-60 households across textile/jewelry production plus packaged indigenous rice retail captures both streams — textile/jewelry for D2C metro buyers, rice for the rapidly-growing health-food market.
Capex of ₹5-12 lakh covers shared looms, jewelry tooling, basic rice mill, and packaging/branding. NHDP (handloom cluster), the DCH (handicrafts), and MOVCD-NER (organic NE cluster) jointly fund up to 75% capex for women-led producer companies. Hard parts: combining craft and agro-processing in one operating model, design adaptation for craft, and shipping logistics from a remote Indo-Myanmar border district. Start with handloom (highest margin); rice and jewelry in year 2.
