This Chinnore rice variety is also referred to as Chavur in the local language; the term Chi comes from Chiknaiyukt, the term no from nokdaar and the va ra from Balaghat. Hundredths of a tribal farmers group in Balaghat grow this rice variety, as the location and weather conditions and the clay loam soil of Balaghat contribute to the aroma and nutritive value of Chinnor rice. The farmers are very particular about maintaining the purity and authenticity of the Chinnor rice. Therefore they select and pick the top part of the rice plant from the field before harvesting and lay them for drying. These dried seeds are retained and used for future harvest..
