Nagaland is a North Eastern state of India with over 71% of its population dependent on
agriculture and its allied sector. Its cultures and traditions are all symbolic to agriculture and
livestock. In Nagaland, lowland rice cultivation is being followed in plain areas, whereas, Jhum
farming is practiced in mid and high hill areas. Livestock sector contributes around 18% of the
state gross domestic product of Nagaland. One or more species of livestock is kept by 71.14% in all
Naga household. Pig rearing is being practiced by the tribal farmers since time immemorial and
it is symbolic to the health and wealth of a Naga family. Pig accounts for 72% of total livestock
in the state. Backyard pig rearing is characterized by zero or low levels of inputs and consequently
low levels of production. Pig farming plays a pivotal role in supplementing family income and
generating employment to the rural poor apart from efficient utilization of agricultural products
and byproducts. Naga are known to consume highest pork in India. No meal is complete without
pork in Nagaland.
