Arunachal Pradesh was the origin of the 1.5 metric tonnes of kiwi that were trial-exported to Dubai, UAE, with the assistance of the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) on 3rd November 2026. The consignment was sourced from Ziro, a high-altitude region known for kiwi cultivation, and exported to LuLu Hypermarket in Al Qusais, Dubai. The export was carried out under the branding initiative "Kiwi: USP of Arunachal Pradesh". The initiative aims to promote the state's agricultural products in international markets. Popular kiwi varieties cultivated in the region include Hayward, Monty, Allison and Bruno.
