Longleng is one of Nagaland's smaller districts but has rich citrus production — Sangha orange, mandarin, and lime — plus forest-produce traditions among the Phom community. Both economies operate at subsistence scale today. A small unit running citrus juice/marmalade processing plus a forest-produce aggregation cooperative (wild herbs, honey, naturally-fermented bamboo shoot) creates two complementary revenue streams across the year.
Capex of ₹5–12 lakh covers basic juice/marmalade equipment, jars, packaging, and aggregation shed. MIDH (horticulture infrastructure) and the NER Forest-based Livelihood scheme fund up to 60% capex. Hard parts: combining two operating models, ensuring sustainable wild harvest, and brand-building from a small district. Start with citrus processing (more predictable supply); add forest-produce aggregation in year 2.
