Explanation
The Barak Valley is noted for plantation crops, particularly tea. Official state documentation lists tea (alongside rice) as a principal produce of the Barak Valley region, highlighting its importance to the local economy and land use [1]. Scholarly and industry sources further confirm that tea is cultivated in both the Brahmaputra and Barak valleys of Assam, with numerous estates operating in these areas and contributing significantly to regional agricultural output and employment [2]. Given these sources, tea is the most important crop among the given options for the Barak Valley.
