Agriculture & Spice Plantations

• Food Grains:

• • Paddy (Rice): This is the predominant food crop, especially in Daman, accounting for a significant share of the cultivated area. It is primarily grown during the monsoon season.
  • Ragi (Finger Millet): Another important food crop, especially in Diu, which is better suited to its drier climate.
  • Pulses: Various types of pulses, including 'Val' (field beans), are cultivated.
  • Wheat: Grown on a small scale, particularly where irrigation facilities are available during the winter (Rabi) season.
  • Jowar (Sorghum): Also cultivated to a limited extent.
