Agriculture Commissioner P K Singh has said that India’s kharif foodgrain production is likely to surpass the government's target of 171.39 million tonne (MT) set for the 2025-26 crop year (July-June) buoyed by higher coverage and favourable monsoon rains. He added that despite lower coverage, the prospects for oilseeds and pulses crops remain positive as productivity is expected to be higher due to good crop conditions.
He further said the damage to crops due to flood and heavy rainfall was minimal compared to the overall sown area in the kharif season. Kharif crops coverage has exceeded that of previous years, rising to more than 110 million hectares from the usual 109.5 million hectares in recent years, driven by increased acreage of paddy and maize.
He said for oilseeds, particularly soybean, cultivated area was lower but crop conditions remained very good, with the possibility of higher productivity. The same applied to pulses. Meanwhile, the government will launch a campaign called ‘Vikhist Krishi Abhiyan’ from October 3-18, 2025, deploying 2,100 teams to villages to support farmers.
