Agriculture & Spice Plantations

Topographical Zones

Chhattisgarh’s land is broadly classified into three agro-climatic regions:

• Chhattisgarh Plains (Raipur, Bilaspur, Durg) – Fertile and densely populated; major paddy belt
• Northern Hills (Surguja, Jashpur, Koriya) – Cooler climate, higher elevation; ideal for spices and horticulture
• Southern Plateau (Bastar, Dantewada, Kanker) – Tribal belt with red & lateritic soils; rich in forest-based agriculture
