Andhra Pradesh has a [[gross domestic product]] (GDP) of 123,560 (in millions of US dollars). That makes it the third largest state in India in terms of GDP, after Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. Most of this money comes from [[agriculture]]. Andhra Pradesh is sometimes called the "Rice Bowl of India", as a very large amount of rice or paddy is grown in the coastal plains of the state. Recently the state is also involved in newer businesses like [[biotechnology]] and [[information technology]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.discoveredindia.com/andhra-pradesh/andhra-pradesh-rice-bowl-of-india/|title=Tour to Andhra Pradesh - Rice Bowl of India|website=www.discoveredindia.com|access-date=2019-03-09}}</ref>
