Economy of West Bengal : ウィキペディア英語版 | Economy of West Bengal
Economy of West Bengal, a state in eastern India, is primarily dependent on agriculture and medium-sized industry, although services and heavy industries play an increasingly significant role in the economy of the state. A significant part of the state is economically backward, namely, large parts of six northern districts of Cooch Behar, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Malda, North Dinajpur and South Dinajpur; three western districts of Purulia, Bankura, Birbhum; and the Sundarbans area. Years after independence, West Bengal was still dependent on the central government for meeting its demands for food; food production remained stagnant and the Green Revolution bypassed the state. However, there has been a significant spurt in food production since the 1980s, and the state is now one of the few Indian states with a surplus in food production. It is one of the most important food producing states in India, producing nearly 20% of the rice and 33% of the potato yield, although accounting for only 15% of the population of India.〔 The state's total financial debt stood at as of 2011. ==Agriculture== Agriculture accounts for the largest share of the labour force. It contributed around 18.7% to the state's gross domestic state product (GSDP) in 2009–10.〔 A plurality of the state's population are peasant farmers. Rice and potato are considered to be the principal food crops of West Bengal. West Bengal is the largest producer of rice in India with an annual output of around 15 million tonnes, and the second-largest producer of potatoes in India with an average annual output of 8.9 million tonnes.〔 Rice, potato, jute, sugarcane and wheat are the top five crops of the state.〔 Other major food crops include maize, pulses, oil seeds, wheat, barley, and vegetables. The state supplies nearly 100% of the potato requirement and 66% of the jute requirements of India. Tea is another important cash crop. Darjeeling is famous for tea plantation.
