Katarni Rice

Katarni is a unique-tasting, aromatic, short-grain rice grown in India, in the state of Bihar. Grown natively in the Bhagalpur and Banka districts, Katarni rice is not only in demand in Bihar but throughout the country. Despite its uniqueness, Katarni rice is facing the threat of extinction. There has been a significant decrease in the area of Katarni rice cultivation, resulting in declining demand in local as well as global markets due to the introduction of adulterated varieties in the market.
