India: BJP's Rameswar Teli and Mission Ranjan Das win Rajya Sabha seats from Assam unopposed

Forum of India Food Importers (FIFI) and North East Entrepreneurs Alliance (NEEA) agreed to build cooperation by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during recently organized North East Food Show 2019 by the government of Meghalaya and SIAL Paris. 
 
The MoU has been signed with an objective to facilitate food business, food processing, food ingredient sourcing, providing market linkages and knowledge exchange between both the parties. 
 
NEEA aims to work closely with FIFI to curate products from the region which can find the platform at par to the international food and beverage products. With this MoU, NEEA is also looking forward to creating a few geographical product categories, brand them accordingly and generate long term brand equity for them. 
 
The GI tagged commodities remain underutilized and with FIFI, NEEA hopes to leverage the opportunity not only in India but across the world. 
 
"While FIFI members see great potential in the North-Eastern states and have expressed keen interest to connect the novel products not only with the Indian market but, to eventually see them getting attention across the globe. We are delighted to take this engagement forward," said Pankaj Singhal after signing of the MoU.

The MoU was signed by Amit Lohani and Pankaj Singhal from the FIFI and members of NEEA in the presence of luminous dignitaries like <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/will-continue-to-serve-northeast-people-expand-national-peoples-party-base-conrad-k-sangma-225616">Conrad K Sangma</a>, the Chief Minister of the state of Meghalaya, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/defence-minister-rajnath-singh-calls-for-upgrading-border-infrastructure-inaugurates-sisseri-river-bridge-in-arunachal-pradesh-262438">Prema Khandu</a>, the Chief Minister of the state of Arunachal Pradesh, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/clean-sports-is-our-agenda-sports-minister-rijiju-267400">Kiren Rijiju</a>, Minister of State of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and Minister of State in the Ministry of Minority Affairs of India, Rameswar Teli, Minister of State in the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/minister-of-home-affairs-amit-shah-discusses-citizenship-bill-with-northeastern-leaders-265351">Biplab Kumar Deb</a>, the Chief Minister of the state of Tripura, and Bedu Panth, Minister of Tourism and Civil aviation and Commerce and Industries.

We would like to do continued efforts not only limiting ourselves to a trade show but, with our continued engagements," said Amit Lohani, Founder and Director, FIFI. 
 
"We firmly believe in cross border trade goods, which are not produced in the region like almonds, pistachios, high-end chocolates, alcoholic beverages, and other products can make way into the North Eastern Market and premium quality turmeric, organic teas, wines, pineapples, and citrus fruits can be traded out at an affordable price," he added.
