North Tripura combines pineapple, citrus, and rubber. A multi-crop processing co-op handles Mar-Jul pineapple, Nov-Feb orange, and year-round rubber sheet production from a shared facility — smoothing labour utilisation across the year.

North Tripura's mid-altitude belt has all three of Tripura's strategic crops within a 30 km radius: pineapple, hill orange, and rubber. The district's processing problem is single-crop economics — a unit dedicated only to pineapple is dormant 8 months of the year. A multi-crop facility with shared infrastructure (cold storage, packing line, basic kitchen) plus crop-specific equipment runs full-time across overlapping seasons.
Capex of ₹12–25 lakh covers shared cold storage and packing plus crop-specific gear (pulper, juice line for pineapple/orange; rolling mill and smoke house for rubber). MIDH and the Rubber Board's processing-unit scheme jointly cover up to 60% capex for NE producers. Hard parts: managing three different seasonal supply chains, training cross-trained staff, and brand-building across product categories. Start with pineapple + rubber (the highest volume each); add orange in year 2.
