Bori people practice [[rice]] cultivation, and it is considered the main staple food. They practice hunting and trapping as well.  Bori people raise [[gayal|mithun]]s, chickens, and pigs.

== Festival ==
The Adi Bori celebrate their own festival known as Donggin. In the Adi language, Donggin translates to "spring season". The Tribal people welcome spring by celebrating Donggin from 2 February to 5 February every year. They celebrate this festival for good harvesting as well. In this festival, they sacrifice mithuns, pigs and chickens to Ane Donggin for health & prosperity.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://arunachalipr.gov.in/GH_Local.htm# |title=Archived copy |access-date=2016-02-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304110138/http://arunachalipr.gov.in/GH_Local.htm# |archive-date=2016-03-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
