In which district of Bihar, Maize production is maximum ?
Muzaffarpur
Among the four districts named, Muzaffarpur records the largest maize production — option 1, as recorded in the Commission’s final key.
Maize in Bihar. Bihar is one of India’s leading maize states, and the crop has grown faster there than any other cereal over the past two decades. Its strength lies in the rabi and summer maize of the north-eastern plain, where high-yielding hybrids on well-irrigated alluvial soil give yields far above the national average — the so-called maize belt of the Kosi and Seemanchal region.
| Point | Detail |
|---|---|
| Seasons | Kharif, rabi and summer — Bihar is unusual in growing all three |
| Leading region | The north-eastern plain, especially the Kosi and Seemanchal districts |
| Uses | Poultry and cattle feed, starch, food grain, and increasingly ethanol |
| Position of Bihar | Among the top maize-producing states of India, with the highest rabi maize yields |
Why maize has spread so fast. It is a short-duration crop that fits between the paddy and the wheat cycles, it needs less water than paddy, and it has a guaranteed buyer in the poultry-feed industry. The state’s Agriculture Road Map has promoted hybrid seed, and the ethanol-blending programme has since added a further outlet, with maize-based distilleries being set up in the state.
What the question is really testing. All four districts named are in northern and western Bihar and all grow maize, so the question rewards familiarity with district-level crop statistics rather than any general principle. Note that such rankings shift from year to year with rainfall and area sown, which is why crop-district questions should be checked against the Bihar Economic Survey for the year in question.
Hence, the answer recorded is Muzaffarpur.
