This discussion examines the journey of Makhana, from the arduous harvesting process in Bihar to its status as a global superfood. Experts debate the economic transformation of the crop, with a key quote highlighting the price jump: "when we started the work in 20 years back, the pricing of Makhana was only 40 rupees per kg for consumers. Now you can imagine from 40 rupees per kg to 2000 rupees per kg, 2500 rupees per kg has value added." The conversation addresses whether increased prices benefit farmers, with claims that farmer income has risen to ₹600-₹800 per kg. It also covers the role of the GI tag for ‘Mithila Makhana’ in improving conditions. Furthermore, the health aspects are scrutinized, weighing its benefits as a low-calorie, nutrient-rich food against the negative impacts of consuming processed, flavoured versions coated with artificial agents.
