Big bang by Indian farmers, made such a world record in paddy production, the world was stunned to see it.

News India Live, Digital Desk: If we look back 10-15 years from now, China had dominance in the whole world in terms of ‘rice production’. But today times have changed. Now the rice grown from the fields of India is feeding the entire world. Recent figures have shocked everyone, India has now overtaken China and taken the title of the world’s largest rice producing country.

Is it just a coincidence?
no way! Years of hard work and sweat of our farmers are hidden behind this. On one hand, there is shortage of land for farming in China or there are some problems in the name of technology, while on the other hand, Indian farmers have wholeheartedly adopted modern farming along with traditional methods. Good quality seeds, better irrigation facilities and government support laid the foundation of this achievement.

How did China lag behind?
China had remained number one for a long time, but due to the increasing pace of urbanization and changing climate, the production there has been significantly affected. At the same time, there has been bumper production in different states of India—like West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. This is not just a figure, but it is also a realization of India’s growing power in the global market.

Now what will happen next?
Becoming the world’s number-1 producer means that now rice prices and supply chains on the global stage will largely depend on India’s policies. The demand for our Basmati to non-Basmati rice extends from Gulf countries to Europe and America.

This news is going to bring a smile on the face of every person who loves his soil. Indeed, when crops flourish in our fields, it is not just a grain but a message of progress for the country.
