Fatehabad Cotton Sunflower Groundnut Farming

Fatehabad district in the Ghaggar belt of northwestern Haryana grows a diverse oilseed portfolio including cotton, sunflower, and groundnut alongside paddy and wheat, providing farmers with flexibility to select crops based on canal water availability and market prices. Fatehabad sunflower oil extraction units process seed into golden-yellow cooking oil sold through local markets and to Haryana's edible oil distribution network. The district's groundnut cultivation in Ratia tehsil produces bold varieties for confectionery and oil pressing, with the groundnut crop's nitrogen-fixing roots improving soil fertility in the rotation sequence.
