Animal husbandry, Aquaculture and livestock sectors are critical for the rural livelihood and economic development of the country. India possesses one of the largest livestock wealth in the world and a quarter of the agricultural gross domestic product is contributed by the livestock sector. Pork, fish, eggs, meat and milk form part of the staple food of the people of North-East India as such poultry farming and pig rearing also provide gainful employment. However, these are largely confined to backyard rearing and commercialization is yet to make a dent in the region.
There is a growing demand for pork, fish, eggs, meat and milk due to increasing per capita income, urbanization and changes in lifestyle and food habits. Much of this demand is met from imports from other states in India and from Myanmar. North East India has much higher Livestock, Fishery and Poultry consumption than the rest of the country. Of these 8 Northeast Indian states, Nagaland has the highest per capita consumption. The tribal population in particular appears to consume more pork on average than other groups. Traders in both Assam and Nagaland reported that the demand for pork was increasing along with prices.
In addition to this, there is a lack of advanced technology, inadequate cold storage facilities and processing equipment, particularly at the farm level, act as a major constraint in enabling this sector to take a quantum jump in production and productivity. Considering all these factors ICC, the nodal chamber for the Northeastern states strongly felt that a big and strong platform is required for all stakeholders to share knowledge, technology and provide market linkages.
The main objective of the summit is strengthening forward-backward linkages, modernization of processing technology, cold chain logistics, capacity building, research & development, fostering innovation and market development in the dairy and livestock and poultry and dairy sector,
Following are the focused sector of the summit::
- Livestock – National livestock policy, breed improvement, farm practices & livelihood
- Aquaculture and Fisheries - Aquaculture Operations, Aquaculture Development, Production Methods, etc
- Poultry – hatchery practices, processing, yield, competitive feed / fodder etc
- Meat Processing – modern abattoirs, high tech slaughtering, optimizing output
- Dairying – milk production optimization, dairy processing, infrastructure & marketing
Keeping in view the above Indian Chamber of Commerce in association with the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Government of India organizing the Northeast India Livestock, Aquaculture and Poultry International Summit on virtual mode focusing on the International scenario of livestock, aquaculture and poultry with respect to North East Region of India on 17th February 2022 from 01.30 PM.
This virtual conference is aimed to bring together the leading academic scientists, researchers and industry leaders to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of livestock, aquaculture and poultry.

Alfred Wahl, PAg represents Polar Genetics (2012) Inc (Canada) as well as Polar Canadian Swine LLP (India) as President.
Alfred was employed as Production Manager in National Pig Development, Regina Saskatchewan for 8 years and as General Manager for PEAK Swine Genetics Inc., located in Leduc, Alberta for 15 years. He helped develop this Company to be a solid genetics supplier to swine producers in the Western Provinces and the Pacific Northwest. Exports of purebred and crossbred pigs were sent to China, Vietnam, Ecuador and Chile during that time.
Alfred has been active in the India piggery sector since December 2006, attending every bi-annual AgroTech. His market access efforts were instrumental in getting an agreed Health Certificate for sale of frozen boar semen in December 2008 and for sale of live pigs in March 2017.
Numerous presentations have been made to Indian piggery farmers and senior Government staff. The application of a Pink Revolution shows benefits to pig farmers from using advanced swine genetics either through frozen boar semen or live pigs.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector has emerged as a highly vibrant and dynamic sector of the Indian economy over the last five decades. MSMEs not only play crucial role in providing large employment opportunities at comparatively lower capital cost than large industries but also help in the industrialization of rural & backward areas, thereby, reducing regional imbalances, assuring more equitable distribution of national income and wealth. MSMEs are complementary to large industries as ancillary units and this sector contributes enormously to the socio-economic development of the country.
