 Why in news

  • Foxnuts farmers receive very little of the money earned from this health food pie, despite the intensive labour involved

  • The people who harvest the seeds though — traditionally boatmen and fisherfolk — say the government offers them little support, and they now want a minimum support price (MSP) to ensure that the crop is sustainable for cultivation

Foxnuts

  • Euryale ferox, commonly known as prickly waterlily, makhana is a species of water lily found in southern and eastern Asia

  • The edible seeds, called fox nuts or makhana are dried, and eaten predominantly in Asia

  • When raised for cultivation, sowing is done in December and January, transplantation in February and March, and harvest between July and October.

  • The wild variety too is harvested at the same time. 

  • The seeds fall into water. 

  • Farmers collect them from the bottom of ponds, grade them, and dry them in the shade. 

  • Then roast the seed and break the shell off. 

  • And take out the lava (the white food commonly seen) and sell it

  • The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) estimates that Bihar produces 10,000 tonnes of makhana per annum, about 90% of the country’s total. 

  • India contributes to 80% of the world’s demand
