Guwahati, July 11: Farmers in the Northeast now will have a wider audience to reach out to and access new opportunities.

“The NERACE is a unified digital platform connecting farmers to the global market, enabling direct transactions and price negotiation. The app features a multilingual helpline (English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Nepali, Khasi, Mizo, and Manipuri) and integrates farmers and sellers, enhancing agricultural connectivity in North East India. By bridging the gap between farmers and buyers, NERACE empowers farmers to reach a wider audience, improve their income, and access new opportunities” a government official said.

The app will be launched by Jyotiraditya M Scindia, Minister for Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER) and Communications, during his visit to Shillong and Guwahati on July 12-13.

He will chair a review meeting with officials of the Ministry of DoNER, NEC and State government officials during his visit.

“The visit of Union Minister Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia to Meghalaya and Assam underscores the priority given by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi government to the development of the North East Region. The focus on infrastructure, connectivity, healthcare, education, startups, entrepreneurship, and tourism development aligns with the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’ and ‘Viksit Purvottar’” a government statement said.

On July 13, Scindia will visit the NEDFi House in Guwahati, Assam, to meet with officials and discuss ways to promote entrepreneurship and startups in the region further.

“I am delighted to visit the beautiful states- Meghalaya & Assam and witness the progress of our development projects. Our vision is to create a vibrant and prosperous North East, and contribute to the nation’s mission to build a Viksit Bharat.” Scindia said.
