  • Abstract: Chhattisgarh is divided into three agro-climatic zones, each with distinct characteristics regarding area, soil, irrigation, and cropping systems. The state government's efforts to promote agricultural development and improve farmers' economic conditions have been recognized nationally, with Chhattisgarh receiving the "Krishi Karman" award multiple times. These awards, given for achievements in paddy and pulses production and overall food grain output, highlight the state's commitment to agricultural excellence.

        Include paddy, soybean, urad, and arhar, while gram and tivda dominate the Rabi season. Additionally, some districts in the state are conducive to sugarcane cultivation, and currently, four cooperative sugar mills are operating successfully. Other crops include maize, small grains, moong, wheat, and groundnut, with the central plains of Chhattisgarh often referred to as the "rice bowl of Central India."
