Govt raises estimate on food grain output for the crop year ended June

17 Aug 2017 Evaluate

The government has raised estimate on food grain output for the crop year ended June on the back of increase in the estimated yields of paddy and wheat.  As per the agriculture ministry’s fourth advance estimates, production of food grain from major crops has been pegged at 275.68 million tonnes, up by over 2 mt or 0.84 per cent than the third advance estimate. That would also be 4.01 per cent more than the previous record, set in 2013-14.

As per the estimates pulses production is expected to go up by 500,000 mt to 22.95 mt and the maize yield is pegged marginally higher than the previous estimate at 26.26 mt, on back of improved yields estimated from tur and gram, which are projected to be 4.78 mt and 9.33 mt, respectively.

According to the latest data the total cotton output is projected to be 33.10 million bales as against the 32.58 estimated in May. Half a million bales (of 170 kg each) of additional cotton yield is expected as major cotton growing areas in the country received good showers in 2016-17.

On the other hand, oilseeds yield is expected to drop further to 32.10 mt from an earlier estimated 32.52 mt. The poor projections for oilseeds were on account of estimated lower yields of soybean, which as 13.7 mt as against the earlier estimate of 14 mt, and castorseed, whose projections came down to 1.42 mt from 1.54 mt estimated in the 3rd advance estimate.
