This study provides an in-depth examination of land use and agricultural practices across six distinct geographical regions. It covers critical aspects such as land area distribution, types of irrigation, soil conditions, rainfall, and temperature impacts on agriculture. The analysis includes household landholding statistics, small-scale non-agricultural activities, and the infrastructure supporting agricultural processes. Key insights into primary production, crop preferences, sources of seeds, fertilizer use, processing industries, and food sufficiency are also presented, highlighting regional challenges and opportunities for sustainable agricultural development.

Processing and packaging Activities • Raw material from local market • No secondary product is sold by farmers • Profit is trader based • 128 food processing industries (rice, oil, flour mills; biscuits, noodles, pulses, dalmoth, bread etc.)
Processing and packaging Determinants • No government regulation • Adequate roads for transportation • Technology is primitive at the village level, but modern in the mills • Consumer demand is mostly for unprocessed food
Distribution and Retailers • Government policy ineffective due to falling surplus • Trade pattern : more export • Food Corporation distributes food • Food For Work is also implemented • Population distribution is fairly uniform (villages within few kilometers)
