History of Orange and Tourism Festival in Tripura

The cultivation of oranges is not very old to Jampui Hills. It all started in the 1960s primarily for the purpose of self-consumption. Later when the locals realized that they can trade them to other parts of the country, they started planting more of them. This increase in the production of oranges strengthened the local economy and increased employment as well. Today, Jampui oranges have created a unique place in the market for themselves for their good quality, and aroma.  

Jampui oranges have garnered much acclaim at various competitions where the edible items are judged on their overall quality, taste, aroma, and nutritional value. Celebrated every year in the month of November, this festival is an opportunity for tourists to taste these widely renowned Jampui oranges and also purchase them.
