In the context of developing countries, business profitability and long-term sustainability increasingly depend on adopting an organized approach—both at the enterprise level and throughout the broader market chain. Farmers, particularly those operating in the livestock sector, require targeted support and capacity building to effectively integrate into market structures, thereby enabling them to occupy stronger, more profitable positions within market chains. The efficiency of forward and backward linkages, which connect input, output, and service markets, is largely determined by the enabling environment and the underlying production and distribution processes. This paper aims to assess the differences in expenditure and prospective income between traditional and scientifically informed methods of livestock production and business management. Drawing upon baseline surveys and socio-economic analyses of the pig-rearing sector in Northeast India, the study estimates an optimal combination of livestock stock and capital inputs to support sustainable and profitable enterprise development. The findings reveal that adoption of scientific production techniques and participation in multiple market chains yield an average gross profit that is 45.11% higher than traditional methods reliant on a single market channel. Specifically, in the livestock sector, a circular entrepreneurial model begins with the organization of small producers into functional clusters or self-help groups (SHGs). To support this, market chains and business services must be developed through rigorous outcome analysis, incorporating systematic monitoring and evaluation. In Northeast India, the involvement of women’s cooperatives or cluster members can be enhanced through targeted leadership and management training, fostering community-wide participation in critical areas such as production, digitization, waste management, and vaccination programs. Bridging existing gaps in backward linkages and facilitating integration among producers, resource providers, and market agents remains essential for strengthening market efficiency and ensuring inclusive growth.
