As Bihar accounts for 90% of India's makhana production, the state is poised to reap benefits from the growing demand for this 'superfood'. However, it has yet to capitalize on its potential. The creation of a 'Makhana Board' aims to boost the local economy and enhance the industry's competitiveness. With the government's support, Bihar's makhana sector may finally thrive, driving growth and development in the region. Key initiatives, such as agricultural marketing and export promotion, will be crucial in unlocking makhana's full potential. By leveraging its natural resources, Bihar can establish itself as a leader in the superfood market.
