Agriculture Sector in Jehanabad
Agriculture is the economic lifeline of Jehanabad. More than 60% of Jehanabad’s workforce is employed in agricultural sector. The sector gets major boost from good annual rainfall, which hovers around 1074.5 mm during monsoon season. Besides, availability of good irrigation facilities and very fertile soil throughout the district also gives major boost to agricultural production. As for which all crops are the main crops, then Paddy, wheat, maize and pulses are grown in huge quantity here.

Agriculture sector though suffers from lack of modernization, which is surely hindering Jehanabad’s agricultural sector to realize its full potential. In recent years and mainly due to initiative taken by government many new agricultural schemes have been launched in the region which has added prosperity to this part of Bihar.
