Why Tripura Has Unique Supply Chain Challenges?
Tripura, India's third smallest state, faces unique geographical challenges being surrounded by Bangladesh on three sides with only a narrow corridor connecting to mainland India. The state imports approximately 80% of its egg requirement from West Bengal via a complex international transit route through Bangladesh territory (Kolkata → Petrapole → Benapole → Akhaura → Agartala). This 550 km route takes 2-3 days and involves customs clearance at both borders, making egg prices 20-30% higher than mainland India. Factors affecting prices: 1) Geographical isolation, 2) Limited local production (only 20% of demand), 3) Hilly terrain with 60% forest cover limiting farming, 4) Monsoon landslides blocking NH-8, 5) Border trade complexities, 6) Higher operational costs in remote tribal areas. The state government is promoting local production through subsidies and tribal poultry schemes to reduce import dependency.
Key Statistics
- Daily Egg Consumption 8-10 Lakh
