Churachandpur is one of the largest district, multi-ethnic and cosmopolitan city in the state of Manipur.  It is considered to be one of the most potential cluster area focused on planting aromatic and medicinal products. The texture of land in the area is suitable for organic farming on a higher scale. Churachandpur being naturally endowed with fertile soil content, the essential oil produced from this region is much superior to the rest of India. The citral content is higher than 80%, which already has an international repute. But due to lack of connectivity, poor technology and finance, business from the aromatic grass cultivation was not able to flourish.

Through the intervention of the SFURTI scheme, the cluster was immensely supported to produce aromatic products. Since the global demand for essential oils is increasing drastically, it motivates the cluster to go ahead with such production. Currently, the cluster is engaged in producing essential oils like lemongrass and citronella, herbal liquid hand wash, herbal tea and fragrance cones. The farmer beneficiaries have been provided with adequate finance and modern technologies for better production.
