The state's harvests have nearly doubled in a year. Paddy production is up 93%, maize 95%, and cotton 74%, according to the Telangana Planning Department.

The state is also making its mark as a producer of paddy seed. "About 85% of our village's paddy is of a fine variety that farmers in MP, Haryana, Bengal, and Bihar use as seed," said a farmer in Anksapur Village in Nizamabad district.
