Media Spotlight – Makhana Gains National Recognition

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently emphasized the importance of Bihar’s traditional crop, Makhana (foxnut), calling it a “superfood” with immense global potential. Speaking at a public event in Bhagalpur, he shared that he personally consumes makhana “at least 300 days in a year” and highlighted the government’s vision to boost its production, value addition, and international marketing.

The Prime Minister announced the formation of a dedicated Makhana Board under this year’s budget to support farmers, enhance processing techniques, and expand exports. He further noted how makhana has become a staple part of urban breakfast tables and reaffirmed its role as a flagship product of Bihar, alongside Bhagalpur’s silk.

This recognition at the highest level underscores the cultural, nutritional, and economic value of makhana — positioning it as one of India’s most promising superfoods for the global market.

At Tashi Naturals, we are proud to be part of this journey, working with farmers in the Mithilanchal region of Bihar to bring authentic, premium-quality Phool Makhana to both domestic and international consumers.
