Vijayawada: The aroma of Araku coffee has reached the Parliament with the opening of an exclusive stall in the building. Union commerce minister Piyush Goyal inaugurated the coffee stall in the Parliament building on Monday in the presence of civil aviation minister K Rammohan Naidu, tribal welfare minister G Sandhya Rani, and officials of Girijan Cooperative Corporation.
Taking to X after the inauguration of the coffee stall, chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu said it’s a moment of pride for Andhra Pradesh. “Great news for coffee enthusiasts in the Parliament! You can now enjoy a freshly brewed cup of Araku coffee right on the premises. This is a moment of pride for all of us, especially our tribal farmers, whose dedication and hard work have brewed Araku coffee to the highest levels of national acclaim,” said Naidu. He thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for championing Araku coffee in his ‘Mann Ki Baat‘ address and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla for granting permission for the stall.
Naidu has been promoting Araku coffee, which is produced organically and has earned a GI tag, at the global level.
