The Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) in Assam has launched the Bodoland Pig Mission, an ambitious initiative aimed at achieving self-sufficiency in pork production by introducing the high-yield British Large White Yorkshire pig breed and promoting scientific farming practices. Launched in 2021, the mission is a collaborative effort involving the BTR government, the Netherlands-based Programma Uitzending Managers (PUM), and Denmark’s Danish Consortium of Academic Craftsmanship (DCAC). With annual pork consumption exceeding 25,000 metric tonnes but local production meeting less than 40% of demand, the mission seeks to bridge this gap through modern breeding facilities, fattening units, and an integrated value chain. The program also focuses on empowering tribal farmers, especially women and youth, by providing loans, training, and technical support to transform pig rearing into a profitable and sustainable livelihood. The initiative aims to produce 100,000 kg of pork daily and reduce imports by 70% within five years, significantly benefiting the regional economy.
