Piggery Mission
In order to improve the economic and nutritional status of the Meghalaya’s population, our government has decided to launch a Rs. 209 Crore Piggery Mission implemented by the newly formed Meghalaya Livestock Enterprises Advancement Society (MLEADS).
Over the next 3 years this Mission will enable Meghalaya to achieve self-sufficiency in pork production, reduce our out-of-state import burden by nearly Rs. 150 Crores annually and improve the incomes of over 25,000 households, totalling to an annual increment of Rs. 70 Crores across the state.
