03 Jan 2014 Evaluate

During the current Rabi season, the government of Madhya Pradesh is expecting wheat production to cross 190 lakh tonnes. With this, the state would be able to surpass Punjab in the production of wheat. The farmers had sown wheat a bit in advance due to more than adequate rains. The intense cold prevailing now will also help in the production of wheat.

Last year, wheat was sown on 54 lakh hectares which led to production of 161.25 lakh tonnes of wheat. This year there is a target to sow wheat on 57 lakh hectares of land.
