Why Meghalaya Has High Import Dependency for Eggs?
Meghalaya, known as the "Abode of Clouds," imports approximately 70% of its egg requirement from Assam (mainly Guwahati) and West Bengal (Siliguri). The state's challenging hilly terrain, small land holdings for tribal communities, and difficult logistics make large-scale poultry farming challenging. Meghalaya has unique tribal food patterns with both Christian and indigenous communities consuming eggs regularly. The National Highway 6 (NH6) from Guwahati serves as the primary gateway for egg supplies to Shillong, while NH12 connects Siliguri to Tura in Garo Hills. Monsoon season (June-September) dramatically impacts prices due to frequent landslides blocking highways and complete road disruptions. The state's dispersed population across remote hill villages makes distribution costly and challenging.
Key Statistics
- Daily Egg Consumption 8-10 Lakh
