The area under cultivation in Kerala has seen a major drop over the decades due to urbanisation. But there is an increased interest among the rural and urban folks to go back to agriculture.

Kerala has long been a consumer state, depending on neighbours to meet its food requirements. Though the state has unique and diverse agro-climatic conditions in various regions, which enable it to cultivate many types of crops, its agricultural legacy is not on a par with other states.

Express takes a look at the agricultural scenario in the state.

Coffee

The production of coffee in Kerala registered a slight increase from 63,476 tonnes in 2016-17 to 66,465 tonnes in 2017-18, with no change in area under cultivation.

Among the coffee-producing states, Kerala stands second, next to Karnataka, contributing 21% of national production. Karnataka accounts for around 71%, and Tamil Nadu 5%.

Arecanut

Though there is a slight decline in the area under cultivation in Kerala in the last one decade, the production has not seen any dip.
