Wokha's orchards produce large pineapple, passion-fruit and banana surpluses that rot in peak season for want of processing; a fruit pulp-juice-concentrate unit absorbs the glut into shelf-stable SKUs that ship year-round to beverage and bakery buyers.

The stronger, lower-risk thread here is fruit processing, not craft alcohol. Wokha is a serious horticulture district, and surplus during peak harvest is severe. This unit builds on the district's banana, ginger and passion fruit belt and targets the passion fruit: raw → pulp, juice & concentrate gap — washing, pulping, pasteurising and packing aseptic pulp and concentrate that NER beverage, bakery and HoReCa buyers can store and use off-season. Aromatic Naga passion fruit and pineapple give the product a genuine origin story for D2C jars too.
The honest constraints: short, sharp harvest windows force tight scheduling; fermentation-free pasteurisation and cold-chain to the mainland are expensive and must be designed in; and FSSAI shelf-life validation takes time. Concentrate and aseptic pulp travel far better than fresh juice, so lead with those. Buyers are juice and squash brands, bakeries, ice-cream and dessert makers, and a small premium D2C line for the frontier-fruit narrative.
