During the visit, Modi will launch the National Makhana Board. This board will promote modern production techniques, strengthen post-harvest management, and boost processing and value addition. It will also help expand domestic and global markets for makhana, supporting brand growth and export. Farmers in Bihar and across the country will benefit directly.
Bihar’s Dominance in Makhana Production
Bihar produces nearly 90 percent of India’s total makhana output. Districts like Madhubani, Darbhanga, Sitamarhi, Saharsa, Katihar, Purnia, Supaul, Kishanganj, and Araria are key production hubs. The region’s fertile soil and climate ensure premium quality.
With the establishment of the Makhana Board, Bihar’s makhana will gain stronger recognition on the global stage. The move is expected to give a big boost to both production and exports, strengthening Bihar’s presence in the worldwide market.
