Agricultural diversification in Bihar and Jharkhand has been shifting towards non-food crops like pulses, oilseeds, and sugarcane. This change aims to increase farmers' income and create more job opportunities in rural areas. The trend shows a decrease in the area dedicated to fine cereals and an increase in non-food crops. Farmers in Bihar have been diversifying towards pulses, fibre crops, oilseeds, cereals, and sugarcane, while those in Jharkhand are focusing on oilseeds, pulses, maize, and wheat. This shift is seen as a way to add more value to the crops grown and sustainably boost rural economies.
