Haryana

Haryana is an agriculturally prosperous state that plays a vital role in India's food security by contributing significant amounts of wheat and rice to the national Central Pool.1

In addition to these primary staples, the state produces a diverse range of other important crops, including:

  • Cotton
  • Rape and mustard seed
  • Pearl millet
  • Chickpeas
  • Sugarcane
  • Sorghum
  • Corn (maize)
  • Potatoes1

The state's high agricultural productivity is largely a result of the Green Revolution, which introduced high-yielding seed varieties and spurred investments in irrigation and fertilizers. This agricultural base also supports a robust manufacturing sector in the state, particularly in the processing of cotton and sugar.123
