India’s rice yield per hectare is way lower than global average: FAO

05 Apr 2012 Evaluate

India’s rice yield per hectare is way lower than the global average, as per UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). The main reasons for this are water shortage, lack of availability of high-yield varieties of seeds and lack of research and development. FAO is of the opinion that to increase the production of rice in the country, yield per hectare should be increased.

India's rice output is 2.3 tonnes per hectare against the world average of 4.3 tonnes per hectare. China, the largest producer of rice with an output of 197 million tonnes has a yield of 6.5 tonnes per hectare, Australia-10.1 tonnes per hectare, US - 7.5 tonnes per hectare and Russia- 5.2 tonne per hectare.

India fares better in the case of wheat. In wheat, India's average yield is recorded as 2.9 tonnes per hectare as against the global benchmark of 3.0 tonnes per hectare. Although India's yield per hectare is low, the rice and wheat production of the country is expected to touch a record of 102.75 million tonnes and 90 million tonnes respectively.
