\nPunjab state consistently produces a large marketable surplus of wheat due to high per-hectare yields, extensive irrigation facilities, and efficient procurement systems, coupled with a relatively lower per capita consumption compared to its production.
\n<\/section>\n
\nMarketable surplus is the quantity of produce left with the farmer after meeting his own consumption requirements, seed requirements, and other expenses. States like Punjab and Haryana, being major contributors to the Green Revolution, have specialized in wheat production and have highly commercialized agriculture leading to large marketable surpluses.
\n<\/section>\n
\nWhile Uttar Pradesh is the largest producer of wheat in terms of total volume, its large population results in a significant portion of the produce being consumed within the state, leading to a smaller marketable surplus percentage compared to Punjab or Haryana. Maharashtra is not a major wheat-producing state among the options.
