Paper I · 6 Telangana Economy & Development · 6.2 Land, agriculture and allied sectors

6.2.3 Allied sectors: livestock, dairy, fisheries, horticulture and food processing

In Telangana the allied sectors now earn more than crops: livestock alone (about Rs 1.04 lakh crore in 2025-26) is nearly half of agriculture's value added, the state has the most sheep in India, inland fisheries and horticulture are growing, and oil palm, now on about 3.2 lakh acres, is the new mission crop.
