Abstract

This study was carried out to analyze the meat production scenario vis-à-vis piggery development potential in Assam to address meat requirements. This study revealed a huge deficit in meat production (84.76%) in Assam in order to meet the meat requirement as per recommended value of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). In terms of monetary value, this shortfall represents a significant market potential of ₹140.60 million. At the same time, meat production patterns indicate that pigs were the highest contributors to the total meat production in Assam during 2022-23. Therefore, piggery development has the potential to bridge the meat requirement gap, increase socioeconomic status, and improve food and nutritional security, particularly among the rural population in the state.
