Matupi Township

Most rivers and streams in the township are fed by water from the hills and mountain ranges.

Agriculture is the most essential and profitable industry in the Matupi Township, employing more than 90% of the population.

Common crops include rice, wheat, corn, millet, pulses, oilseeds, coffee, oranges, damson, potatoes, and natural fibres.

Although the primary occupation is agriculture, the industry is not well developed due to the scarcity of large valleys and plains.

Due to difficult terrain, human labor is the main driving force of the work done.

Among these wards Ngala, Longvan and Khoboi ward are the major places where the following clans reside: Hmanrhing, Laithang, Longla, Oitoe, Rhalawk, Rhinguet, Sampok, Takluem, Taknan, Thanghul, Thangkhoeng, Thintuep, Tlungma, Tuimuk and Zungpoeih These fourteen clans are called Batu.

The demographics of Matupi township are very diverse, with many different Chin tribes residing in the area.

In the Matupi township, there are 6 major tribes namely Matu, Dai, Zotung, Lautuv, Khumi and Mara (Hlaipao,Tlosai, Hawthai etc.).

All these major tribes in the Matu township have their own unique culture and language, which is common in Chin State.

Christianity is adhered to by an overwhelming majority of the population (approximately 98%) [citation needed] and the rest are mainly Buddhists or Animist.

Many Matupi people have also served as missionaries and pastors in places like the United States, Australia, India, south-east Asia, and in the Pacific island nations.

Travel to Matupi Township mainly occurs by car, through poorly maintained roads that cut along the mountainsides and valleys.
