Chanduali produces the ‘healthier’ black rice. The produce is in high demand and is being exported to Australia and New Zealand.

New Delhi: Chandauli in Uttar Pradesh is one of India’s four most progressed districts since the beginning of the Narendra Modi government’s Aspirational Districts Programme, according to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)’s latest appraisal report.

Among the best practices that pushed Chandauli’s progress was the black rice experiment in the district.

Chanduali started producing the ‘healthier’ black rice since 2018. This commodity is now being exported to Australia and New Zealand, with options of other countries also being explored.

The project is being seen as a huge success due to high demand and good profit margin on black rice in global markets.

The move came amid a government push. The cultivation of black rice in areas around Chandauli, which is called the as ‘rice bowl of eastern UP’, received a major boost after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath branded and marketed the product in the neighboring district of Mirzapur as ‘Vindhya black rice’.  

Moreover, its cultivation has been promoted under various schemes of the Yogi government, such as ‘One District-One Product’ and ‘Export Policy 2020-25’. These schemes aim at doubling farmers’ income and increasing exports from various sectors including agriculture.

Simdega (Jharkhand), Sonbhadra (Uttar Pradesh) and Rajgarh (Madhya Pradesh) are the other districts to have made the most progress under the programme.

Here’s a look at what black rice is, and what its market scenario is.
