Why Nagaland Has High Import Dependency for Eggs?
Nagaland, known as the "Land of Festivals," imports approximately 90% of its egg requirement from Assam (mainly Guwahati) and West Bengal. The state's challenging hilly terrain, limited local production, and predominantly non-vegetarian food culture create high demand and elevated prices. Dimapur, being the only railway-connected town, serves as the primary gateway for all egg supplies entering the state via NH-29. Frequent bandhs, road blockades, and monsoon-related landslides can cause sudden and significant price spikes of 50-100% within days. The government is actively promoting local egg production to reduce this import dependency and create rural employment opportunities.
