Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Tobacco
India is the 2nd largest tobacco
producer with an annual production of around 800 million kgs. India is also
among the top tobacco exporters with an annual foreign exchange earnings of
around Rs.6, 000 crore per annum.
Among cigarette tobacco
varieties, the Flue-Cured Virginia (FCV) tobacco is the most dominant variety
in India as well as the world. FCV tobacco is grown in the states of Andhra
Pradesh, Telengana and Karnataka, and thrives in soil and climatic conditions
that are unsuitable for cultivation of other crops. There is no equally
remunerative alternative crop to tobacco.
Hence, option B is the correct
answer.
