Between 2005 and 2021, jowar, ragi and paddy lost nearly 7.77 lakh hectares (ha), 1.58 lakh ha and 44,000 ha respectively

Paddy, jowar and ragi, the staple food grains of Karnataka, are slowly losing ground to commercial crops like maize, areca and cotton.

Between 2005 and 2021, jowar, ragi and paddy lost nearly 7.77 lakh hectares (ha), 1.58 lakh ha and 44,000 ha respectively. The area under maize cultivation has expanded from 9.36 lakh ha to 17.13 lakh ha in the last 15 years, according to the State Department of Economics and Statistics. 

The water-guzzling areca, which was earlier cultivated in the Malnad region, is now grown in central and south Karnataka, even in semi-arid lands. Between 2005 and the last agriculture calendar year, its cultivated area has grown by nearly 200 per cent, from 1.87 lakh ha to 5.51 lakh ha.
