Assam
The lush green fields that lay on her way to the hospital in Jorhat district, Assam always fascinated Nanbita. Though trained as an auxiliary nurse, the young Nabanita chose farming as her occupation in 2010. Today, the enterprising entrepreneur manages a small agri-hub – with production of flowers, fruits, vegetables, pulses, oilseeds and a variety of joha rices, including Kunkuni Joha, Ketaki Joha and Kola Joha. Joha rice is very popular among the consumers of the region due to its unique quality, aroma, superfine kernel, good cooking quality compared to the other scented rice cultivars of India.
The Spirit of the Earth kitchen team documents it as, “Excellent rice! A fine grain and very flavourful.”
