Q. Uttar Pradesh is a leading producer of which crop? [UPPSC 2018]
Answer: Sugarcane
Notes: Uttar Pradesh ranks first in sugarcane production in India due to alluvial soil, extensive irrigation, and favourable climate. Sugarcane is crucial for the state's agro-economy. Coffee is grown in southern states; leather is an industry product, not an agricultural output; wood is not a major crop.
