Why Uttarakhand Faces Unique Poultry Challenges in Himalayas?
Uttarakhand, known as 'Devbhumi' (Land of Gods), faces unique poultry challenges due to its Himalayan geography with average altitude of 1,800 meters. The state imports approximately 70% of its egg requirement from Uttar Pradesh's plains via NH-58 (Meerut-Dehradun highway), making prices 25-40% higher than neighboring plains. Key challenges: 1) Mountainous terrain limits large-scale commercial farming, 2) Harsh winters (Nov-Feb) with temperatures below freezing affect layer productivity, 3) Monsoon landslides (July-Sept) frequently block NH-58 causing supply disruptions, 4) Tourism-driven demand fluctuations (summer and pilgrimage seasons), 5) Higher transportation costs on hill roads, 6) Limited cold chain infrastructure in remote hill districts. Despite these challenges, the state is promoting hill poultry through special subsidies (up to 90% in remote areas) and focusing on organic egg production for premium tourism markets.
