Third estimates peg total foodgrain output at 283.3 mt despite below-par monsoon rain

Rice and wheat production in the country scaled new heights taking total foodgrain output in 2018-19 to 283.37 million tonnes (mt), a tad lower than the 285 mt foodgrains produced in the previous year, according to the third advance foodgrain estimates released by the Agriculture Ministry on Monday.

Despite a below-par monsoon, rice output was projected to be 115.63 mt, nearly 2.5 per cent more than the 112.76 mt produced in 2017-18, while wheat production is estimated to cross the three-digit mark for the first time to achieve 101.2 mt, thanks to a favourable, prolonged winter.

According to final estimates for the previous crop year, wheat production in 2017-18 was 99.87 mt. The crop year is from July to June.
