Meghalaya has been ranked 10th among small states, northeast states, and UTs in NITI Aayog’s Export Preparedness Index 2024, and placed in the 'Challenger' category. With exports worth about ₹83.7 crore in FY24, the state’s performance is driven by limestone, quartz, and niche agri-products like Lakadong turmeric, though gaps in logistics and processing limit growth.
