Which state emerged as the largest wool-producing state in India in FY24 with a 47.5% share of national output?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Rajasthan recorded the highest wool production in India during FY24, contributing 16,013.50 thousand kg, which accounted for approximately 47.53% of the total national output of 33.69 million kg. The state’s arid climate and vast grazing lands create favourable conditions for sheep rearing. Indigenous breeds such as Marwari and Chokla produce mainly coarse wool, widely used in carpet and blanket manufacturing. With India ranking ninth globally in wool production and second in sheep population, Rajasthan’s dominant contribution significantly strengthens rural livelihoods, textile industries, and the broader wool economy.
