Headline: 260 Metric Tons of Success: Leading the Organic Way in Sikkim! 🏔️💪

Look at this picture from our neighbors in Nepal. They showed us the power of unity when 47 farmers joined forces. At Sikkim IFFCO Organics, we are already taking that inspiration and turning it into a reality for our state.

We are proud to announce that in 2025, we successfully collected 260 Metric Tons (260,000 kg) of organic cardamom! 🏆🌱

This isn't just a number—it’s the sweat and hard work of our Sikkimese farmers. It’s proof that when we work together, we can achieve global scale. If our neighbors can do it, we can do it even bigger, better, and purely organic.

To our Farmers: You provide the hard work, and we provide the platform to reach the world. Let’s take this 260 MT as our baseline and aim even higher for the next season.

Sikkim’s hills are filled with "Black Gold." Let’s harvest it, value it, and grow together.

Leading the organic way. 🌿🤝

Farmers of Gogne, Silichong-1, Nepal have earned more than NPR 1.17 Cr this season through cardamom farming.

Total of 47 households took part, cultivating 119 mann of cardamom and sharing the profits equally, with each family receiving around NPR 2.36 lakh after expenses. A viral image showing farmers distributing the income has drawn national attention, highlighting how cooperative farming is improving livelihoods in remote communities.

( SC REPORT) In a step toward restoring Sikkim’s heritage crop, the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India, has sanctioned a ₹8.06 crore research project to revive large cardamom—long regarded as the backbone of the state’s rural economy.

Over the next three years, India’s top biotechnology institutes—ICGEB, NIPGR, IBSD, NABI, and NCBS—will collaborate under the national BioE3 Policy (Biotechnology for Economy, Employment, and Environment) to rejuvenate the crop’s vitality. The project aligns with the State Government’s flagship mission “Mero Alaichi, Mero Dhan” (My Cardamom, My Wealth), championed by Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Prem Singh Tamang (Golay).

Domesticated centuries ago by the Lepcha community, large cardamom (Amomum subulatum) sustains nearly 20,000 farming families and is celebrated as Sikkim’s gift to the world. Once a driver of prosperity, the crop now faces a severe decline—over 60% of plantations have become unproductive, yields have halved, and plant lifespan has fallen from 20 years to barely 5. The crisis, rooted in genetic erosion due to clonal propagation and worsened by soil degradation and disease, has cost rural households an estimated ₹318 crore annually.

Recognizing this urgent challenge, the DBT-backed project will deploy advanced biotechnological solutions including protein- and peptide-based antifungal formulations, lignin-based nano-biopesticides, RNA-based viral management tools, and microbial probiotics—each compatible with Sikkim’s 100% organic farming mandate.

Experts believe these innovations will not only combat current disease outbreaks but also ensure long-term genetic resilience and sustainability of the crop. More than a scientific mission, this initiative aims to revive livelihoods, protect cultural heritage, and safeguard a Himalayan legacy—proving that modern science can indeed rescue tradition.

Great initiative

Great initiative

Smt. Eden Lepcha from Singhik, Mangan, becomes the first woman farmer to install AI-powered smart farm monitoring systems in her cardamom plantation.

Her step marks the beginning of a new era where women farmers lead innovation in the fields.

A proud moment for the farming community.
