Abstract:
Bhagalpur district in Bihar has long been recognized as a traditional region for cultivating aromatic rice varieties, with Katarni, Tulsi Manjari, Badshahbhog, BR-9, and BR-10 being the most grown. Katarni rice, renowned for its distinctive and high-quality traits, has earned a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, which signifies its special qualities that can only be developed in its designated GI region. However, despite its uniqueness, Katarni rice faces the threat of extinction due to various factors, such as dwindling irrigation resources, the widespread adoption of high-yielding rice varieties, and adulteration by traders who mix non-aromatic rice grains with Katarni for profit. The study explores the key constraints—technological, economic, and marketing—affecting Katarni rice cultivation. Findings highlight the urgent need for improved seed availability, irrigation support, and better market access. The study suggests policy interventions to sustain Katarni rice farming and ensure fair pricing for farmers.
