Orange Festival With A Beauty Contest
The festival attracted 132 participants and the ones with the best quality oranges were awarded. The festival was organized by the the Horticulture Development Society of Tamenglong and jointly sponsored tourism department and NRGES, Tamenglong and TAMBAC.
The Orange festival was held 174 kilometers from Impal and promoted the tourism. It also offered the orange farmers an opportunity to display their produce before potential buyers.
R.
Kamlung
Panmei,
an
orange
grower,
said:
"The
festival
encourages
villagers
to
grow
oranges.
We
hope
that
in
the
next
10-20
years,
with
God's
blessings,
we
will
supply
oranges
all
over
Manipur,
India
and
even
in
the
International
market."
Mary Panmei, another orange grower, said: "Through Orange festival, our oranges are promoted and the world comes to know that there are oranges in Tamenglong."
Blessed with great climatic conditions that supports the horticulture crops, the growth in orange produce has given a boost to the Manipur economy. "We have organised this orange festival believing that it will help orange growers and also encourage them to grow more oranges." said David Panmei, President of the Horticulture Development Society, Tamenglong.
It were not just the oranges at the festival, but a beauty contest of 27 participants that made the festival all the more colorful. The beauty contest has been the integral part of the festival over the years.
Manipur
has
over
3,838
hectares
of
land
under
orange
cultivation,
with
50
percent
of
the
state's
annual
orange
production
contributed
by
Tamenglong
alone.
That
nears
to
about
10,000
to
11,000
metric
tonnes.
