The 'Mission Golden Spice' is a dedicated initiative launched by Union Minister Jyotiraditya M. Scindia and Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma to boost the production and processing of Lakadong turmeric. This project serves as an integrated value chain enhancement initiative aimed at positioning the specific variety of turmeric in national and international markets. By focusing on scientific cultivation and infrastructure development, the state seeks to economically empower local farmers while maintaining the unique agricultural identity of the region. The project aligns with broader government goals of doubling farmers' income through the promotion of high-value GI-tagged commodities.
