Asserting that the country is maintaining an increasing trend in foodgrain production since 2015-16, Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Secretary Manoj Ahuja has said ‘the total foodgrain production increased by 25 per cent in the last six years from 251.54 million in 2015-16 tonnes to 316.01 million tonnes in 2021-22. Oilseeds have followed the same trend and have shown a growth of 42 per cent from 25.25 million tonnes in 2015-16 to 37.15 million tonnes in 2021-22.
India's exports of agricultural products have grown by 19.92 per cent during 2021-22 to touch $50.21 billion (Rs 3,76,575 crore). The commodities such as wheat, other cereals, rice (other than Basmati), soya meal, raw cotton, fresh vegetable, and processed vegetables etc. have registered most positive growths.
He said ‘we have to accelerate the production and productivity of agriculture and horticulture sectors for ensuring food and nutritional security in the rural areas. The Government has adopted several developmental programmes, schemes, reforms and policies that focus on higher incomes for the farmers. Action Plan for 3 years Seed Rolling Plan (2021-22 to 2023-24) for all oilseeds with allocation Rs 381.95 crore will produce a total of 14.7 lakh quintals of quality seed of new High-yielding varieties (HYVs) will be produced in next 3 years.’
