Odisha is an Agrarian State. Almost 70 percent population of the State are dependent on agriculture. The agriculture sector contributes only about 26 percent of the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), with more than 70% population dependence resulting in low per capita income in the farm sector. Odisha contributes one-tenth of the total rice produced in the country. Other important food grains include pulses like gram, tur, and arhar and Oilseeds like groundnut, mustard, and castor oil.
