Minister of State for Agriculture Parshottam Rupala has said that India's crop production in the Kharif season (summer-sown) is likely to be higher than last year's 141.71 million tonnes on better monsoon rains. He also said kharif crops were affected in some states because of floods but it would not have much impact on the overall production.
As many as 12 states have been affected by floods. He said ‘the condition of kharif crop is good. In some places, there is crop damage because of excessive rains. Still, we will have bumper production in kharif season, higher than last year’.
As per the latest government data, area sown to summer crops remained flat at 1,054.13 lakh hectare so far in the ongoing kharif season of the 2019-20 crop year (July-June). Area sown to rice was down by 5.25 lakh hectare to 378.62 lakh hectare so far this season and pulses by 2.41 lakh hectare to 132.99 lakh hectare. However, acreage of coarse cereals was up by 3.1 lakh hectare to 178.12 lakh hectare, while that of oilseeds remained flat at 178 lakh hectare in the said period.
