Why Sikkim Has Highest Import Dependency for Eggs?
Sikkim, India's first fully organic state nestled in the Eastern Himalayas, imports approximately 95% of its egg requirement from West Bengal (mainly Siliguri) and Bihar. The state's extreme mountainous terrain with elevations ranging from 300m to 8,586m (Kanchenjunga), harsh winters with temperatures dropping below freezing, and very limited agricultural land makes commercial poultry farming extremely challenging. Sikkim has only about 7,096 sq km area with most land unsuitable for farming due to steep slopes and forest cover. The NH-10 highway through Teesta River valley is the lifeline connecting Sikkim to the plains, and any disruption causes immediate supply shortages. Monsoon landslides (June-September) frequently block roads for days, causing egg prices to spike by 30-50%. Tourism season (March-June, September-November) also increases demand significantly in this popular Himalayan destination.
