Bihar is the undisputed heart of the global fox nut industry, accounting for nearly 90% of the world's supply. However, the year 2026 marks a radical shift: Bihar is no longer just a raw material supplier but a global manufacturing powerhouse. At PLS Agro Foods, we are proud to be a premier Makhana manufacturer in Bihar, operating a state-of-the-art processing facility in the high-yield Katihar-Purnea belt.
The 2026 Manufacturing Revolution
The landscape for makhana manufacturers in Bihar has been transformed by the inauguration of the National Makhana Board in Purnea and the rollout of the ₹476 Crore Central Sector Scheme. Our facility has evolved to meet these new national and international benchmarks:
1. Automated Popping Technology: Moving away from traditional labor-intensive roasting, our factory utilizes temperature-controlled automated popping machines. This technology ensures a uniform expansion of the seed, resulting in whiter, crunchier flakes with a significantly lower "black spot" ratio.
2. Precision Grading (The Suta Standard): As a modern manufacturer, we provide mechanical grading that traders cannot match. We specialize in 7+ Suta (Jumbo Premium), 6 Suta (Standard Export), and 5 Suta (Industrial Grade). This precision allows our B2B partners to maintain consistent product quality across their retail lines.
3. Hygienic Value Addition: Our manufacturing unit is FSSAI, APEDA, and HACCP certified. We ensure every batch is processed in a dust-free environment with a moisture content strictly maintained below 6%, locking in the natural antioxidants, protein, and minerals.
4. Sustainable Farmer-Direct Sourcing: We operate on a "Farm-to-Factory" model, partnering with thousands of local farmers in the Mithila region. This direct integration allows us to utilize high-yield varieties like Sabour Makhana-1, ensuring a steady supply even during peak global demand.
Scalability for Global Brands
The "White Ball Revolution" in Bihar has opened new doors for international trade. As an integrated Makhana manufacturer in Bihar, we offer more than just bulk supply; we provide private labeling (OEM) services, nitrogen-flushed packaging for extended shelf life, and full logistical support for exports to the USA, EU, and UAE.
By sourcing directly from our Katihar manufacturing unit, you eliminate the "Export Gap" traditionally filled by middlemen in other states. You gain transparent pricing, traceability to the GI-tagged fields of Bihar, and the reliability of a partner who controls the quality from the raw "Black Diamond" seed to the final "White Gold" puff. Whether you are a global snack brand or a national health-food distributor, PLS Agro Foods is equipped to scale with your ambitions in this new era of Bihar’s industrial growth.
