Step-by-Step Process
Makhana Production in the State
The state proudly accounts for over 80% of India’s total Makhana production, making it the leading hub for this nutritious and high-demand crop. The pond system cultivation is one of the oldest and most traditional methods practiced by farmers in the region. This age-old technique involves growing Makhana in water-filled ponds, a process deeply rooted in local agricultural heritage.
A unique aspect of this cultivation method is the use of skilled divers, who are employed to dive into the ponds and manually collect the matured Makhana seeds from the bottom. This harvesting process is both labor-intensive and time-consuming, requiring significant physical effort and long working hours.
Nearly every stage of Makhana cultivation — from sowing to harvesting, cleaning, drying, popping, and grading — is manual in nature. This traditional approach not only ensures quality but also provides livelihood to thousands of rural families.
Storage, Preservation & Distribution
Once harvested, Makhana must be carefully dried and stored in moisture-free environments to preserve its quality and increase shelf life. Proper packaging using air-tight containers or vacuum-sealed bags helps in maintaining freshness and preventing spoilage during transit.
For domestic distribution, Makhana is supplied to local markets, wholesalers, and retailers across various states, often marketed as a healthy snack or ingredient for sweets and savory dishes.
On the international front, the demand for Makhana has been steadily growing due to its recognized health benefits. Exporters ensure that the product meets global food safety standards. It is packaged attractively, labeled with nutritional information, and shipped to countries like the USA, Malaysia, UK, UAE, and Australia etc, where it is consumed as a superfood.
