Mizoram is a rice-deficit state. Due to its hilly terrain, limited availability of flat land for paddy cultivation, and the prevalence of Jhum (shifting cultivation), the state cannot produce enough rice to meet its total consumption needs. According to agricultural statistics and state reports (including the Mizoram Economic Survey), the state typically produces approximately 30% to 40% of its total rice requirement, with the remaining balance being imported from other states (primarily Assam and neighboring regions). Among the given options, 35% is the most accurate representation of the state's self-sufficiency level in rice production. Options a (50%) and b (80%) are too high, as the state is heavily dependent on imports, and option d (10%) is too low, as local production still contributes significantly to the rural diet.
