Koraput, Sept 15 [UDN}: Koraput coffee, grown in the picturesque hills of Odisha’s Koraput district, is gaining recognition beyond the state and emerging as a distinctive symbol of Odisha’s agricultural identity. The locally produced coffee is set to receive a prestigious platform at the BRICS Summit 2026 in New Delhi, where it will be showcased with pride before foreign delegates and distinguished guests attending the international gathering.
The presence of Koraput coffee at such a high-profile global event is being seen as a significant achievement for the district and for Odisha as a whole. Known for its unique growing conditions, the coffee cultivated in the hilly terrain of Koraput reflects the region’s rich soil, favourable climate and traditional farming practices.
More importantly, the recognition highlights the hard work of tribal coffee growers who have contributed to the growth of coffee cultivation in the region. For many farming communities, coffee has emerged as an important avenue for improving livelihoods while giving a distinctive identity to the agricultural produce of the Koraput hills.
The opportunity to showcase Koraput coffee before an international audience at the BRICS Summit is therefore more than a promotional achievement. It represents the journey of a regional product from the hills of southern Odisha to a prestigious global diplomatic platform.
From Koraput to the BRICS Summit in New Delhi, the journey of Koraput coffee stands as a proud example of how local agricultural products can gain national and international visibility. It also puts the spotlight on Odisha’s tribal farmers, its rich natural landscape and the state’s growing potential in high-value agricultural production.
For Odisha, the moment is not merely about coffee—it is about presenting the flavour, hard work and identity of Koraput and its farming communities to the world. ☕🌿🇮🇳
