West Bengal is a rice producing zone. Wheat yield cannot be that much unless it is produced under a superficially created optimum condition. Wheat needs less water and it cannot be produced in fields under standing water. Could it be that the areas in the north like Dinajpur are producing whaets?
My grand father was the first man to produce Wheat in East Pakistan and was shown in the exhibition.
Wheat does not yield much, but in dry season most of the land we have can be brought under wheat production through irrigation. But Buro Paddy is much more commercially viable than wheat.
Punjab has vast land area with fewer people which is the main reason for them to be successfull in agriculture. Their lands are not segregated as Bengal which was done by land reform. I am not sure about the land reform of Pubjab.
