About Maize
Maize, or corn, is a staple crop in India, widely cultivated in Bihar. Known for its versatility, maize serves as a fundamental ingredient in food, feed, and industrial products. Bihar’s fertile soil and favorable climate provide ideal conditions for high-yield maize cultivation, which contributes significantly to the local economy and food security.
Importance and Significance
Maize holds a strategic position in Bihar’s agricultural landscape, supporting both the food supply chain and income generation for farmers. As one of the major grain producers, Bihar’s maize contributes to food security domestically and is a key export crop. For Atulyam’s farmers, maize production represents a reliable and rewarding livelihood.
Farmers and Cultivation in Bihar
Bihar’s farmers have developed expertise in maize cultivation, benefitting from government support and cooperative systems like Atulyam. Regions such as Purnia and Samastipur have emerged as major maize-producing areas, with a focus on sustainable and high-yield practices. These farmers, often part of cooperatives, work to maintain high standards and consistent quality.
Geography and Environment
Bihar’s subtropical climate, fertile plains, and adequate rainfall make it an excellent region for maize cultivation. This environment enables the growth of both rabi (winter) and kharif (summer) maize varieties, maximizing yield potential across seasons.
Nutritional Benefits
Maize is a rich source of fiber, vitamins (especially B-complex), and minerals like magnesium and phosphorus. It is a gluten-free grain with a low glycemic index, making it suitable for diabetic and gluten-sensitive consumers. Maize is also high in antioxidants, which can support eye health and reduce oxidative stress.
Supporting Our Farmers
Atulyam works with dedicated farmers across Bihar who rely on traditional knowledge and environmentally sustainable practices to grow Maize. These farmers are often small landholders, cultivating crops that have been part of their cultural heritage for generations. By sourcing directly from these communities, we ensure that every purchase of Maize contributes to rural livelihoods and promotes sustainable farming.
