The northern regions of India are located in the Himalayan mountain range. Tea shrubs are grown on the slopes of the mountains, and their leaves are hand-picked throughout the year. After this, the leaves are dried and sorted. Larger leaves are used to make high-quality tea, whereas smaller leaves and crumbs are used in tea bags. India is the largest producer of tea in the world. 

The dry Indian savannas are used to grow wheat, peanuts and cotton. Rice is farmed in wet river valleys. 

Agriculture is an important livelihood for many Indians. India is the second-largest agricultural producer in the world.
