It is grown in all the districts of the state, but Kangra and Mandi are the two main wheat-growing districts. In 2019-20, wheat was grown on an area of 1.2 million hectares in Himachal Pradesh, of which 65% was in Kangra and Mandi districts.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rice is not a major foodgrain crop in Himachal Pradesh. It is grown in a few districts of the state, but its area under cultivation is much smaller than that of wheat.<\/li>\n<li>Maize is also not a major foodgrain crop in Himachal Pradesh. It is grown in a few districts of the state, but its area under cultivation is much smaller than that of wheat.<\/li>\n<li>Pulses are a group of crops that include beans, lentils, and peas.
