India Makhana Market Size and Growth
The India makhana market, also known as the India fox nut market, is valued at INR 100 billion, supported by strong growth over the past five years. Market expansion is driven by rising domestic consumption, increasing awareness of makhana's nutritional benefits, and growing export demand for plant-based and gluten-free snacks.
Makhana cultivation and processing are highly concentrated in Bihar, particularly in Patna, Darbhanga, and Muzaffarpur, due to favorable agro-climatic conditions, abundant pond systems, traditional processing expertise, and targeted government incentives.
