Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
India
India is the largest jute producing country in the world, with annual production estimated at more 1.968 million tonnes. The prominence of India in the global production of jute is attributed to improvements in the crop cultivation process, as well as the use of technology in jute farming. The majority of jute produced in India is consumed domestically, as the country is also one the largest consumers of jute and jute products in the world. Strict laws in India regarding allowable types of packaging materials is a primary cause of the country's demand for jute. In 2011, India imported over 337,000 tonnes of jute and jute products to meet domestic demand. West Bengal accounts for as much as 50% of the country's total jute production. Other major jute producing regions in the country include Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Meghalaya, Assam, and Orissa.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Rabi Crops
The Arabic translation of the word”Rabi” is spring. These crops’ harvesting happens in the springtime hence the name. The Rabi season usually starts in November and lasts up to March or April. Rabi crops are mainly cultivated using irrigation since monsoons are already over by November. In fact, unseasonal showers in November or December can ruin the crops. The seeds are sown at the beginning of autumn, which results in a spring harvest. Wheat, barley, mustard and green peas are some of the major rabi types of crops that grow in India.
