"The Rani variety of pineapple is the best pineapple variety in the world. It had earlier received the Geographical Indication (GI) tag," Baidya told the media at the Agartala-Akhaura ICP adjacent to Agartala, the capital of Tripura.
He emphasized that the traditional relations between India and Bangladesh in general, and with the State of Tripura in particular, have always been excellent and deep.
"The sending of pineapples from our Chief Minister to the Prime Minister of Bangladesh is a symbolic gift as part of our friendship," the official said.
Earlier too, most of the Chief Ministers of Tripura had sent pineapples to Bangladeshi Prime Ministers, who in turn gifted delicious mangoes from that country.
Tripura has occasionally exported the Rani variety of pineapple to Dubai, Qatar and Bangladesh, facilitating business worth crores of rupees for the state's farmers.
