Bihar’s Most Recognisable Snacks Sattu, Makhana to Be Served at Brics Summit
Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said the welcome kit items will showcase Bihar’s food culture and could open new markets for farmers and food processors.
- On Friday, September 11, 2026, delegates at the Delhi BRICS Summit received welcome kits containing sattu and makhana from Bihar. Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary celebrated the inclusion, calling it "Bihar's pride on the global stage."
- Sattu is made of gram, while makhana is a major agricultural product deeply rooted in Bihar's food culture. Bihar accounts for around 90% of the country's total makhana production, cultivated on a large scale in northern districts.
- Agriculture department estimates show national makhana production reached 80,590 metric tonne in 2025-26. Regarding gram production, the State witnessed an increase of more than 6,000 metric tonne over the past decade, reaching 63,569 metric tonne in 2024-25.
- Presenting these items on a global platform aims to establish "Brand Bihar," aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Mod's "Local to Global" resolve. Branding now extends beyond spiritual heritage to encompass local products and entrepreneurship.
- Modern packaging and processing are expanding sattu's potential in international markets. Presenting makhana on a global platform could open new market opportunities for farmers and food processors, creating growth prospects for Bihar's agricultural sector.
