Peren's mid-altitude belt has emerged as a significant passion fruit, dragon fruit, and avocado producer — but post-harvest infrastructure is non-existent. A small juice and pulp unit captures the surplus during peak harvest.

Peren has aggressively shifted toward high-value horticulture in the last decade — passion fruit, dragon fruit, avocado, and traditional citrus. The agronomy has worked; the markets haven't. Without local processing, peak harvest crashes prices to distress levels. A small unit doing pulping, juice extraction, and frozen-pulp packaging absorbs the surplus into shelf-stable SKUs targeted at metro mocktail bars, gourmet beverage brands, and exotic-fruit retail.
Capex of ₹8–16 lakh covers a pulper, juicer, pasteuriser, freezer, and packing line. MIDH supports horticulture processing infrastructure in NE; PMFME covers the food-processing component. Together they fund up to 60% of capex. Hard parts: cold-chain logistics from Peren (most goods ship via Dimapur), brand-building, and HoReCa buyer relationships. Start with frozen pulp B2B (simpler, predictable); juice and concentrate retail follow.
