Kohima, May 20 (MExN): Investment and Development Authority of Nagaland, in collaboration with Customized Energy Solutions Foundation, will organise a one-day state-level workshop on Nagaland Food & Feed Link (N2FL) 2.0 at the Capital Convention Centre on May 29.
According to an official communication issued by IDAN, the workshop aims to build on the foundation laid during the 2025 state-level workshop and strengthen enterprise development through clean energy-enabled interventions.
The initiative seeks to promote local production, improve productivity, reduce dependence on external inputs and create income opportunities for rural entrepreneurs and producer groups across Nagaland.
The concept note for the programme stated that the N2FL 2.0 initiative focuses on four major value chains — fibre, food, feed and credit linkage with enterprise scaling.
Under the fibre value chain, the programme will support local skills in garment stitching, bags and daily-use products through community-based hubs. The initiative is expected to generate employment opportunities, strengthen local production capacity and promote entrepreneurship.
The food value chain component aims to assist entrepreneurs in improving product quality, packaging, sales and market access. Solar-powered processing units and community-based training are expected to enhance value addition and strengthen farmer linkages.
The feed value chain will focus on promoting local feed production using locally available raw materials. Training and enterprise support for farmers and livestock rearers are expected to improve animal management practices while reducing dependence on externally sourced feed.
The workshop will also emphasise credit linkage and enterprise scaling by connecting entrepreneurs with financial institutions, development partners and technology providers.
According to the organisers, the initiative aims to strengthen repayment capacity, support sustainable rural enterprises and improve access to finance in the state.
