Longding's NABARD plan for 2023-24 sees about 18.79 crore in bankable priority-sector lending. It is overwhelmingly a farm district: agriculture and allied activities make up nearly the entire plan (roughly 21.41 crore of activity, which runs above the priority-sector base because of a large livestock working-capital line), while MSME adds only about 2.02 crore and everything else — education, housing, social infrastructure, SHG lending — is small.
The clearest openings are in animal husbandry. Poultry (1.76 crore), fisheries (0.83 crore), dairy (0.62 crore) and pig-rearing all fit the local food habit and the shifting-cultivation economy of the Wancho people. Horticulture and plantation (1.62 crore) suit the hills — kiwi, ginger, turmeric, pineapple, oranges, plus bamboo and cane. Food and agro-processing (1.44 crore) and Wancho handloom, wood-carving and handicrafts round out the picture, with FPOs being formed under a 'One District One Product' push and state schemes funding women entrepreneurs and artisans.
The plan is blunt about what holds the district back: farming leans entirely on the monsoon with almost no irrigation, floods recur, and there are few cold stores, godowns or regulated markets. Community land ownership keeps small farmers from getting loans, crop insurance is absent, and improved animal breeds and feed are in short supply. For workshops and small units, frequent power cuts, poor roads and no training institutes are the main brakes. NABARD suggests tapping RIDF/NIDA funds to close these gaps.
What the plan promotes
- Animal husbandry is the biggest allied opportunity: dairy, poultry, sheep/goat/piggery and fisheries together carry the largest term/working-capital lines, with poultry development at 1.76 cr and fisheries at 0.83 cr, given the local food habit and jhum-based economy.
- Plantation and horticulture potential of 1.62 cr; the hilly agro-climate suits fruits, kiwi, ginger, turmeric, pineapple and oranges, plus non-timber produce like bamboo, cane and medicinal plants.
- Food and agro processing (1.44 cr credit line) is a thrust area; MIDH supports primary processing units up to 50 lakh with a further 25% state subsidy up to 25 lakh per unit.
- Formation of Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) under the Central Sector Scheme for 10,000 FPOs, promoted on a 'One District One Product' basis; SHGs to be federated into FPOs for post-harvest management.
- Textile (handloom) and handicrafts of the Wancho tribe: wood carving expertise in the Tirap-Changlang-Longding (TCL) region has a 2.00 cr training earmark plus NID Ahmedabad design partnership; CM's Hastshilp Yojana supports exportable premium handicrafts.
- Sericulture is flagged as best-suited to the district's agro-climate for women- and SHG-centric rural employment given its short gestation and eco-friendly nature.
Gaps the plan names
- Over-dependence on monsoon and lack of irrigation compels subsistence jhum cultivation; recurrent floods and traditional cultivation methods limit output.
- Lack of storage and processing units, transport and marketing bottlenecks, and absence of regulated markets choke value realisation.
- Community land-holding system blocks marginal and jhum farmers from accessing credit; no crop-insurance cover is available.
- Weak farm support: limited supply of improved cattle/pig breeds and concentrated feed, few extension services, and inadequate technical and fertiliser inputs.
- For MSMEs: frequent load-shedding, poor connectivity, lack of training institutes, and deteriorating financial health of SSI/cottage/village units.
