India Exports 1 Tonne of Bihar's Makhana to Greece, Expanding Market Access
India has exported 1 tonne of popped Makhana from Purnea, Bihar, to Greece, facilitated by APEDA, marking a milestone for Bihar's agricultural exports. Bihar produces about 80-85% of India's Makhana, cultivated across 35,000 hectares with support from agricultural institutions. The export aims to increase farmers' income through higher international prices and expand market access. The shipment was flagged off by Bihar Agriculture Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha, with the commerce ministry highlighting efforts to connect domestic producers with global buyers.
