Bhubaneswar: From the hills and plantations of Koraput to a global gathering of nations, Odisha’s coffee is telling a story that goes beyond a cup.
Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi said it was especially heartening to see Koraput Coffee showcasing another side of the State at the BRICS India 2026 Summit, describing the moment as a reflection of the true spirit of ‘Vocal for Local’.
In a lengthy post on X, Majhi said that over the past few days, he had been speaking about Odisha on global platforms, inviting the world to discover the opportunities, strength and potential of the State.
Against that backdrop, the presence of Koraput Coffee at the BRICS India 2026 Summit offered a different but equally powerful way of presenting Odisha to the world – through a product rooted in its soil and shaped by the work of its people.
The CM said the global recognition of Koraput Coffee was a matter of immense pride for him, particularly as it reflected the hard work of the people of Odisha and the richness of the State’s land.
He linked the moment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Vocal for Local’, saying the initiative was about giving the strength of local products a place on the global stage.
For Odisha, the moment carries a simple message: the State’s story is not only about investment, industry and opportunity. It is also about the produce of its soil, the identity of its communities and the quiet work that can travel far beyond its place of origin.
Majhi said this was the Odisha he wanted the world to know – rooted in its soil, proud of its identity and confident in sharing its story with the world.
