Imphal: Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh expressed pride after Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented the state's GI-tagged Chak Hao to the Queen Mother of the United Arab Emirates.

The Chief Minister noted that this international recognition honors the hard work of local farmers who have preserved the black rice variety for generations. He described Chak Hao as a symbol of the state's resilience and agricultural excellence rather than just a culinary delicacy.
Singh emphasized that the gift reflects a rising global appreciation for indigenous products. He concluded by encouraging continued public support for local farmers to ensure Manipuri goods remain competitive in international markets.
