Our Heritage
Rooted in the Soil of Meghalaya
MECOFED (Meghalaya State Co-operative Marketing & Consumers’ Federation Ltd.) stands as the pillar of Meghalaya’s agricultural journey. For nearly five decades, we have served as the bridge between remote hilltop farmers and the global marketplace.
What started as a small initiative to protect indigenous farmers has grown into a movement that sustains the unique biodiversity of the Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo hills.
We don't just trade spices; we safeguard the livelihood of 100,000+ farming families who are the true guardians of Meghalaya's biodiversity.
