Geography

Economy
[edit]The local economy is primarily agrarian and resource-based. Major sources of income include river fishes, water snails, arecanut, broomstick, and agarwood.[3]
Arecanut cultivation began around 2012 with support from the New Land Use Policy (NLUP). Farmers practice half-moon terracing for rainwater percolation, slope stabilization, and soil conservation, as agriculture depends mainly on monsoon rains.[3]
Agarwood trees thrive naturally in Phainuam (along with Saihapui V), reportedly the only prominent locations in Mizoram. The village produces surplus brinjal and other items sold in external markets. As per a state government assessment, it had around 300 houses and a population of about 1,832.[3]
