Food Processing and Agro-based Industries
The economies of Bihar state is highly
agrarian in nature, characterized by larger
dependence of majority of people on the
agriculture sector. Hence, concentration on
improving the productivity in the
agriculture sector and increasing farm
income are imperative to bring about an
overall development in this state.

Bihar’s agro-based industry is expected to be a major growth driver for
the economy, engendering large-scale employment in rural areas and
high returns for the farmers.
Agro based industries:
• Cattle feed
• Jute, hemp, sisal and other fabrics
• Tea cultivation, processing and packaging
• Paper
• Floriculture

The people of Bihar are largely dependent on agriculture and allied
activities for earning their livelihood. Due to flow of several rivers and
streams, the land is most fertile over here.
Bihar is the leading State in the production of fruits and vegetables. It is
the first largest producer of vegetables and second largest producer of
fruits in the country. There exists huge scope of investment in the food-
processing sector in the State.
The present government has constituted a separate “Agriculture Cabinet”,
the first of its kind in India.

This cabinet is responsible for planning, investment and execution in the
agriculture sector to boost up the production of grains and value added
products. The main crops and produce (Grains, Fruits & Vegetables all
together) of the state are as follows-
paddy, wheat, maize and pulses. Main cash crops are sugarcane, potato,
tobacco, oilseeds, onion, chillies, jute and roselle. Industries based on
agricultural products like sugar mills, edible oil mills, spices and other
agro based industries have a good demand and export potential.
These facts indicate that there is a need to integrate the rural producers of
these to the mainstream economy using food processing technology.

Textile Industry (Handloom & Silk)

areas which will have separate policies. "There
are many areas in Bihar which are known for
small-scale textile units. The major locations
for the textile industry are Bhagalpur, Gaya,
Nalanda, Darbhanga, Madhubani, Siwan and
Patna.
The textile sector is one of the thrust areas for the industry department.

Handloom & Silk

context of employment generation and the economic development.
Handloom units are also very important for welfare resources. People can
organize these units to increase their income levels and quality of life. As
handloom units are labour intensive, so they create employment
opportunities at a relatively low cost.
Handloom weavers of Bihar have fashioned their offerings based on the
resources available locally. Bhagalpur and Katoria were bestowed with a
vast forest cover and thus gave them an opportunity to cultivate tussar
silkworms.

There are about 83 thousand handlooms in the Bihar and the number of
weavers is approximately 1.3lakh. The major weaving areas are
Madhubani, Gaya, Nalanda, Bhagalpur, Katoria, Patna district etc. There
are 2 weavers’ cooperative institutions at the state level and 6 at the
regional level.
It also coordinates the functions of training, marketing, funding, economic
research and Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme
(PMEGP). The Khadi and Village Industries Board at the state level has its
district level offices, through which it operates in promotion of village
industries.

Indian silk industry is one of the largest generators of employment and
foreign exchange for the country. India enjoys a unique global position in
terms of production of all commercially useful varieties of silk.
In Bihar, Bhagalpur region has the great potential of silk industry. More
than a century old Tussar silk weaving industry in Bhagalpur has about
30,000 handloom weavers working on some 25,000 handlooms. The total
value of annual trade is around Rs. 100 crores, about half of which comes
from exports.

world with a history going back 3000 years.
Bihar is the cradle for different world famed
religions like Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism. It
was also the centre for many great empires like
the Mauryas, Guptas and the Nandas. Bodhgaya,
Nalanda, Rajgir and Vikramshila are some of the
leading Buddhist spots in Bihar which shows the
state’s deep connection with Buddhism.

Bihar tourism has taken a commendable step of developing various
tourism circuits. Based on the information available following regions look
to emerge as an attractive tourist destination.
• Gaya-Jahanabad,
• Nalanda-Rajgrih,
• Vaishali-Lauriya-Nadangarh,

mountaineering, adventure sports, water sports, wildlife safari, leisure,
beach based tourism, spiritual, archeological and health tourism, all rolled

individually, in their respective categories for anywhere in the world.
Bihar promises development of tourism to its optimum level. Bihar’s
turnaround in the recent years has considerably improved its image. The
Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation runs various units to attract
the tourists to visit Bihar.

Sugarcane Industry
Sugar industry is the largest agro-based
industry in Bihar. The industry generates
sizeable employment directly in the farm
sector and indirectly through ancillary
industries and related activities. It is estimated
that about 5 lakh farmers are engaged in the
cultivation of sugarcane and, approximately.

mills, which will bring more than Rs. 6,500 crores to Bihar. Besides that,
the existing sugar mills are also planning to expand their crushing
capacity.

with southern states, the crop, in Bihar, just needs two rounds of
irrigation. Of the total cultivable area of 54 lakh hectares in the state, only
4.41 percent is covered under the sugarcane cultivation, and there is
ample scope for increasing the area under sugarcane cultivation.

Leather based Industries
Leather and allied industries in India play
an important role in terms of providing
employment to the large number of
artisans and also earning foreign
exchange through exports. The major
factors responsible for the growth of
Indian leather industry are availability of
raw materials (hides and skins), cheaper
labour, technology and Government
policy support.

Bihar produces good quality of cattle hides and goat skins in large quantity.
The state occupies third rank in the country, next only to West Bengal and
Rajasthan, in terms of availability of hides and skins. Hence, leather based
industry has a great potential in the state. As per the recent survey
conducted by Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI), Bihar produces
annually 2.64 million bovine hides and 5.09 million bovine skins. More
than the number, Bihar is known for its best quality goat skins, cow hides
and calf skins.
Leather-based industries have vast potential in the state owing to Bihar’s
rich cattle population and the high quality of their hides. There are 50,000
footwear artisans in the state.

There are 85 leather units, of which 20 manufacturing units each are
located in Patna, Muzaffarpur and Bettiah, and the remaining 25 units
take up only job work.
The leather tanning industry consists of units established under the Bihar
Leather Development Corporation (BLDC) and its sister concern, the Bihar
Finished Leather Ltd; private tanneries operate at Muzaffarpur (six
tanneries in the industrial area at Muzaffarpur) and Mokhamehghat. State
has tanneries as well as footwear units in the private sector. There is
abundant skilled labour available in the State.

Energy / Non-Conventional Energy
Power is the prime mover of the economy and a
critical infrastructure for economic and
industrial growth. Bihar has witnessed sharp
increase in economic growth during Eleventh
Plan period, mainly on account of the growth in
the secondary and tertiary sectors. This has led
to a sharp rise in the per capita income, which
grew at 10.47 percent during the Eleventh Plan,
about 4 percent higher than the national
average.

Energy is a prerequisite for the economic development of any country or
state. The case is no different for the eastern Indian state of Bihar. The
state has witnessed a promising growth in the recent years and is set to
tread for significant economic advancement in the years to come.
Bihar Renewable Energy Development Agency, has been established to
promote development of schemes on non- conventional energy sources.
It has been nominated as nodal agency to carry out the remote village
electrification program.

resources and constitute vital raw materials in a
number of basic and important industries. India

minerals and they constitute one-quarter of the
world's known mineral resources.
Prior to bifurcation, Bihar was one of the
leading producer of minerals.
