Tamil Nadu has historically been an agricultural state, while its advances in other fields transformed the state into being an industrialized and innovation based economy, leading to competition for land and its resources. Agriculture is heavily dependent on the river water and monsoon rains. The perennial rivers are Palar, Cheyyar, Ponnaiyar, [[Kaveri River|Kaveri]], Meyar, [[Bhavani river|Bhavani]], [[Amaravathi]], [[Vaigai]], Chittar and [[Tamaraparani]]. Non-perennial rivers include the Vellar, [[Noyyal river|Noyyal]], Suruli, Siruvani, Gundar, Vaipar, Valparai and Varshali. Tamil Nadu is the highest producer of bananas and coconuts in the whole country. It is also a leading state in production of other crops such as sugarcane, cotton, kambu, [[corn]], [[rye]], [[Peanut|groundnut]] and oil seeds. At present, Tamil Nadu is India's 4th largest producer of rice behind West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bizvibe.com/blog/top-10-largest-rice-producing-states-india-2018/|title=Top 10 Largest Rice Producing States in India 2018 – Bizvibe Blog|website=www.bizvibe.com|access-date=24 October 2018}}</ref><ref name="policy-notes">{{Cite web|url=http://www.tn.gov.in/policynotes/agriculture.htmTN|title=Government Policy Notes}}</ref> Tamil Nadu is the home to [[M.
