The largest producer of rice in India is Uttar Pradesh, according to the Government of India’s Economic Survey 2025–26 statistical appendix, which lists Uttar Pradesh as the top rice-producing state for 2024–25 with 20.76 million tonnes, followed by Telangana and West Bengal. Rice production in India is supported by fertile land, irrigation, favorable climate conditions, and large-scale cultivation across major agricultural states. Uttar Pradesh plays a key role in meeting domestic consumption and strengthening the country’s foodgrain output. Other important rice-producing states include Telangana, West Bengal, Punjab, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh, all of which contribute significantly to India’s rice supply chain. This strong agricultural base helps India remain one of the world’s leading rice-producing nations and a major supplier for both domestic and export markets.
