NON-FOOD CROPS
Among non-food crops cotton is important among fibres,
groundnut and sesamum among oilseeds, tobacco and betel-leaf
among drugs and narcotics and coriander, chillies and garlic
among condiments and spices. Economic prosperity of the district has much to do with the realisation of groundnut and cotton
crops every year. The district has also emerged as a prominent
spices producing centre (viz., coriander, chillies and turmeric). In
the district the non-food crops are as important as the food crops
and in the post-war years the area under non-food crops has
actually increased at the cost of food crops.
