Explanation:

Situated in the North-Western part of Maharashtra and neighboring the state of Madhya Pradesh is the city of Jalgaon. With just about enough rainfall and a hot climate, one wouldn’t think that the farmers there would be keen on cultivating a crop like the banana.

It comes as a surprise then, that the Jalgaon district is one of the top producers of the fruit in the world—so much so, in fact, if it were a country, Jalgaon would be the seventh largest producer of banana.

The district accounts for about 70% of Maharashtra’s banana yield and between 11-12% of the country’s annual output.
