The recent GST reforms in Arunachal Pradesh have significantly reduced tax rates on agricultural, horticultural, processed, and artisanal products from 12-18% to 5%. This change has led to price reductions of 6-11%, directly benefiting over 70% of the population dependent on farming. Key products like Arunachal Orange, kiwi, and Adi Kekir Ginger have become more affordable, enhancing their competitiveness in domestic and global markets. The reforms aim to stimulate demand, support MSMEs, and promote sustainable economic growth in the region.
