Foodgrain production likely to increase to 253.16 MT in 2015-16

15 Feb 2016 Evaluate

The production of foodgrain in the country is estimated to increase marginally to 253.16 million tonnes (MT) in 2015-16 crop year, as per information provided by Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh. This marginal increase is on likely improvement in output of wheat and pulses despite back-to-back drought. The estimate is however, lower than the record 265.04 MT in the 2013-14 crop year (July-June) but slightly better than 252.02 MT achieved last year.

As per the second advance estimate of the Agriculture Ministry to be released this week, production of coarse cereals, oilseeds, cotton, jute and sugarcane is estimated to be lower in 2015-16. Wheat output is projected to go up by 8.42% to 93.82 MT in 2015-16, from 86.53 MT in the previous year. Pulse output is also estimated to increase marginally to 17.33 MT this year from last year’s 17.15 MT though it’s still not sufficient to meet domestic demand.

The production of rice, a major kharif crop, is however projected to drop by 2% to 103.61 MT in 2015-16 crop year, from 105.48 MT in previous year. The coarse cereal production is expected to decline 4.46 MT to 38.40 MT this year while that of oilseed output is projected to drop to 26.33 MT from 27.51 MT in the said period.

Further, sugarcane production is pegged lower at 346.3 MT, cotton at 30.69 million bales of 170 kg each and jute at 10.40 million bales of 180 kg each.
