As any other city of India, agriculture is the backbone and
the biggest contributor to the economy of Raipur and the state. The
agricultural harvest from the city and the remote areas are transported to the
entire region. Cultivation of rice is the main agricultural harvest. Even
though the neighboring states like Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, etc., the
main source of income is the agriculture, the rice is supplied to these states
via Raipur only. The quality of the rice of the city is supreme hence the
demand from the neighboring states for the rice is always high. Hence this
sector of the business is evergreen and the proper storage of the harvest

processing factories are present in the city, where cement manufacturing units are
one of them where companies like Lafarge, Konark, ACC, Ambuja, Grasim, etc.,
are present in the city which supplies the cements to the entire state as well
