Senapati's hill belt produces pineapple and other horticulture at scale, sold raw at distress prices in narrow harvest windows. A small juice, concentrate and frozen-pulp unit absorbs that seasonal surplus.

A small unit doing washed pineapple and mixed hill-fruit pulp, juice, concentrate and frozen-pulp B2B output, with retail SKUs for year-round revenue. It builds on the district's cabbage, vegetables & pineapple belt and its position on the Imphal-Dimapur highway corridor — the only viable route to get perishable output to market — and it targets the hill horticulture → dehydrated/pickled and value-added opening, absorbing surplus that otherwise rots or sells at distress farm-gate prices.
The real constraints are cold-chain and processing timing from an interior hill district. A pulper, pasteuriser, freezer and packing line are needed, plus FSSAI compliance and reliable chilled despatch over the highway; the short, concentrated harvest window and cold-chain reliability are the honest risks. The brand wedge is genuine: single-district, hill-origin, organic NE-Manipur provenance supports premium D2C pricing once retail SKUs land. Buyers: beverage and food companies wanting frozen pulp, NE-origin D2C consumers, and institutional juice supply. Start with B2B frozen pulp; retail follows.
