Plan to convert more rice fallow land to pulses, oilseeds during rabi season

New Delhi:
The government has set a foodgrain target of 285.2 million tonnes (mt) for 2018-19, which is marginally higher than the expected production in 2017-18, the agriculture ministry said here on Tuesday.

As per the fourth advance estimates released by the Government last month, the foodgrain harvest in 2017-18 would be around 284.83 mt, aided by record production in staple as well as other mainline crops.

While 2018-19 rice production target is 113 mt as against 112.91 mt projected for the previous year, wheat yield is set at 100 mt, a touch higher than 99.7 mt expected in 2017-18.

“Cutting across all States, standing kharif crop looks very good, indicating the harvest this year is going to be good,” agriculture secretary Shobhana K Pattanayak said on the sidelines of the national conference on agriculture for rabi campaign 2018-19.
