Unleashing Untapped Potential of Makhana Farming By announcing the establishment of the Makhana Board and the National Institute of Food Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Management (NIFTEM) in Bihar, the Union Budget 2025 has made a significant contribution to the development of India's agricultural economy, especially for high-value commodities like Makhana (foxnuts). By increasing farmer incomes, improving value addition, and offering institutional assistance, this will fortify the industry. In addition to lowering post-harvest losses, expanding financial assistance for Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) and MSMEs will provide improved processing, storage, and value-chain growth. By utilising cutting-edge trading platforms, effective price discovery, and strong supply chains, Bihar can propel both internal and international markets, as India's Makhana exports are increasing by 30 per cent annually. To propel the prosperity of Makhana farmers and advance India's standing as a leading supplier of Makhana in international markets, the cover story discusses how the combined efforts of policy makers, industry partners, and farmer cooperatives would be crucial.
