In Tripura, rainfed rice-potato system is prevailing on medium upland. Due to changing the climatic condition and fluctuation in rainfall pattern make the cultivation of rice for uneconomical. The groundnut is emerging a new crop for rainfed condition and has the potential to replace the uneconomical rainfed rice. Short duration cash crop like groundnut, potato, baby corn etc. which is highly amenable to adjustment, fits in well in various cropping systems and efficiently utilized natural and socio-economic resources to maximize production and profitability in a sustained manner.
