ITANAGAR | May 26, 2026 – In a major boost to regional agro-tourism and local farmers, the Government of Arunachal Pradesh has officially declared the Arunachal Pineapple Festival, Bagra, as an annual state event. This significant policy move is designed to institutionalize the celebration, ensuring sustained government funding and administrative backing every year.
By elevating the festival to a state-level event, the administration aims to provide a robust platform for local pineapple growers to showcase and market their premium organic produce to a wider consumer base. Beyond boosting agriculture, the annual festival is strategically positioned to promote the rich tribal culture of the region and expand Arunachal’s tourism visibility on the national and global travel maps. Officials state that this step will stimulate the rural economy, encourage sustainable farming practices, and position Bagra as a premier hub for agro-tourism in the Northeast.
