Suitable areas for boro rice expansion in Meghalaya were identified using geospatial technology based on land evaluation using information on soil, slope, elevation, rainfall and temperature. The study showed that 635 ha area is highly suitable followed by 581.74 sq. km and 219.07 sq. km area is marginally and moderately suitable respectively. The suitable areas are distributed in 20 blocks of 8 districts. More than 50% of suitable areas are distributed in West Garo hills.
