Key Points

• Rice	Rice is a staple food for the overwhelming majority of population in India.  Though, it is considered to be a crop of tropical humid areas, It has about 3,000 varieties which are grown in different agro-climatic regions. In southern states and West Bengal the climatic conditions allow the cultivation of two or three crops of rice in an agricultural year. But in Himalayas and northwestern parts of the country, it is grown as a kharif crop during southwest Monsoon season. India contributes 22.07 per cent of rice production in the world and ranked second after China in 2018. West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab are the leading rice producing states in the country.
  Wheat	Wheat is the second most important cereal crop in India after rice. India produces about 12.8 per cent of total wheat production of world (2017). It is primarily a crop of temperate zone. Hence, its cultivation in India is done during winter i.e. rabi season. About 85 per cent of total area under this crop is concentrated in north and central regions of the country i.e. Indo-Gangetic Plain, Malwa Plateau and Himalayas up to 2,700 m altitude. Being a rabi crop, it is mostly grown under irrigated conditions.  Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan are leading wheat producing states.
  Bajra	Bajra is sown in hot and dry climatic conditions in northwestern and western parts of the country. It is a hardy crop which resists frequent dry spells and drought in this region. It is cultivated alone as well as part of mixed cropping.  Leading producers of bajra are the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana.
  Maize	Maize is a food as well as fodder crop grown under semi-arid climatic conditions and over inferior soils. Maize cultivation is not concentrated in any specific region. It is sown all over India except Punjab and eastern and north-eastern regions. The leading producers of maize are the states of Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
