Why Manipur Has Import Dependency for Eggs?

Manipur, known as the "Jewel of India," imports approximately 60% of its egg requirement from Assam (mainly Guwahati) and West Bengal (Siliguri). The state's challenging hilly terrain, limited agricultural land in the valley regions, and infrastructure constraints make large-scale commercial poultry farming difficult. Manipur has a predominantly non-vegetarian population with high per capita egg consumption, particularly in urban areas like Imphal. The Imphal Valley serves as the main consumption hub, while Jiribam acts as the crucial gateway for supplies from Assam via NH-2. Frequent bandhs and road blockades on NH-37 (via Nagaland) and NH-2 (via Silchar) significantly impact egg availability and prices. The upcoming Jiribam-Imphal railway project is expected to improve supply chain reliability and reduce transportation costs in the future.

Key Statistics

  • Daily Egg Consumption 8-10 Lakh
  • Poultry Farms 1,800+
  • Import Dependency 60%

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are egg prices in Manipur higher than mainland India?

Manipur imports approximately 60% of its egg requirement from Assam (mainly Guwahati) and West Bengal (Siliguri). Transportation costs via NH-2 (Imphal-Jiribam-Silchar route) and NH-37, hilly terrain challenges, frequent bandhs and blockades, limited cold storage facilities, and growing demand from the predominantly non-vegetarian population all contribute to higher prices. The state's geographical isolation and infrastructure constraints make large-scale poultry farming challenging.
Primary supply route: Guwahati (Assam) via NH-37 through Nagaland and Kohima, approximately 500 km. Secondary routes: 1) Silchar via NH-2 (Jiribam route), 2) Siliguri via Assam-Bengal corridor, 3) Local farms in Imphal Valley. Jiribam serves as a crucial transit point due to its location at the Assam border, and the upcoming Jiribam-Imphal railway will improve connectivity.
Imphal West and Imphal East districts typically have the lowest egg prices in Manipur due to better road connectivity, presence of local poultry farms in the valley region, and proximity to major markets. Jiribam also has competitive prices due to its border location with Assam. Hill districts like Tamenglong, Kamjong, and Pherzawl have higher prices due to transportation challenges and remoteness.
Bandhs and road blockades significantly impact egg prices in Manipur, often causing 30-50% price spikes within days. The state's dependence on just two major highways (NH-2 and NH-37) makes it vulnerable to supply disruptions. During prolonged blockades, prices can double, and shortages occur in hill districts first. Local cold storage limitations further exacerbate the problem.
Major wholesale markets: 1) Khwairamband Bazaar, Imphal - largest wholesale hub and Ima Keithel (Mother's Market), 2) Thangal Bazaar, Imphal - wholesale trading center, 3) Paona Bazaar - retail and wholesale hub, 4) Thoubal Market - valley region distribution, 5) Churachandpur Town Market - hill district hub. These markets receive daily supplies from Assam and local valley farms.
Manipur offers various schemes: MSPDC provides 50% subsidy for layer farms, NEC Poultry Mission offers 75% subsidy for hill districts, CM Poultry Development Scheme provides interest-free loans for youth, and special 90% subsidy programs exist for ST communities. The state is actively promoting local egg production through the Integrated Poultry Development Programme to reduce import dependency and ensure food security.
