&lt;em&gt;Overall foodgrain output, however, rose marginally to 252.22 mt in FY16, farm ministry&amp;rsquo;s advance estimates show &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The crippling drought over the past year failed to impact India&amp;rsquo;s overall foodgrain production but led to the lowest production of pulses in six years, showed the fourth advance estimates released by the agriculture ministry on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, according to the ministry, foodgrain production rose marginally&amp;mdash;from 252.02 million tonnes (mt) in 2014-15 to 252.22 mt in 2015-16&amp;mdash;despite 11 states declaring a drought last year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest estimates imply that any change to the growth rate of the agriculture sector in the gross domestic product (GDP) data is unlikely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015-16, the sector was estimated to have grown at 1.2% against a 0.2% contraction in the year before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth advance estimates for 2015-16 are also in line with the third advance estimate released by the ministry in May, which put the production numbers at 252.23 mt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the ministry revised downwards the production estimates for wheat, the main winter crop, from 94.04 mt in the third advance estimates to 93.5 mt in the latest estimates for 2015-16.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only food crop that seems to have been affected by the drought is pulses, with an estimated production of 16.47 mt, the lowest in six years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2008-09, the production of pulses stood at 14.57 mt and rose to a peak of 19.25 mt in 2013-14, the highest that India has ever produced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A lower pulse crop has led to higher prices over the past year with varieties such as arhar or pigeon pea still retailing at over Rs.140 per kg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest estimates show that the decline in the production of rice and coarse grains was offset due to a significant rise in the production of wheat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While production of rice declined from 105.48 mt in 2014-15 to 104.32 mt in 2015-16, the production of wheat rose by as much as 8% during this period&amp;mdash;from 86.3 mt to 93.5 mt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the wheat estimates for 2015-16 are at variance with the government numbers, which show a sharp decline in procurement from farmers by the Food Corporation of India&amp;mdash;from 28 mt last year to just 23 mt in 2016.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though the production of foodgrain was unaffected by the drought, the output of oilseeds and cotton took a hit, according to the latest estimates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the production of oilseeds fell by 8%, from 27.5 mt in 2014-15 to 25.3 mt in 2015-16, that of cotton fell by over 13%, from 34.8 million bales (one bale equals 170kg) to 30.15 million bales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The correction in production estimates of pulses seems to be in the right direction, but the market still does not believe the figures put out by the government,&amp;rdquo; said Ashok Gulati, agriculture chair professor at the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations, New Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;For chickpea, the government is giving an estimate of over 7 mt while the markets believe it is no more than 6 mt, due to which the prices are spiralling,&amp;rdquo; Gulati said, adding, &amp;ldquo;for wheat, 88 mt is a reasonable estimate, but the government feels it is 5 mt more. Some of these and the earlier estimates like a record milk production in a drought year can seem like a joke.&amp;rdquo;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Overall foodgrain output, however, rose marginally to 252.22 mt in FY16, farm ministry&amp;rsquo;s advance estimates show &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The crippling drought over the past year failed to impact India&amp;rsquo;s overall foodgrain production but led to the lowest production of pulses in six years, showed the fourth advance estimates released by the agriculture ministry on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, according to the ministry, foodgrain production rose marginally&amp;mdash;from 252.02 million tonnes (mt) in 2014-15 to 252.22 mt in 2015-16&amp;mdash;despite 11 states declaring a drought last year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest estimates imply that any change to the growth rate of the agriculture sector in the gross domestic product (GDP) data is unlikely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015-16, the sector was estimated to have grown at 1.2% against a 0.2% contraction in the year before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth advance estimates for 2015-16 are also in line with the third advance estimate released by the ministry in May, which put the production numbers at 252.23 mt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the ministry revised downwards the production estimates for wheat, the main winter crop, from 94.04 mt in the third advance estimates to 93.5 mt in the latest estimates for 2015-16.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only food crop that seems to have been affected by the drought is pulses, with an estimated production of 16.47 mt, the lowest in six years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2008-09, the production of pulses stood at 14.57 mt and rose to a peak of 19.25 mt in 2013-14, the highest that India has ever produced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A lower pulse crop has led to higher prices over the past year with varieties such as arhar or pigeon pea still retailing at over Rs.140 per kg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest estimates show that the decline in the production of rice and coarse grains was offset due to a significant rise in the production of wheat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While production of rice declined from 105.48 mt in 2014-15 to 104.32 mt in 2015-16, the production of wheat rose by as much as 8% during this period&amp;mdash;from 86.3 mt to 93.5 mt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the wheat estimates for 2015-16 are at variance with the government numbers, which show a sharp decline in procurement from farmers by the Food Corporation of India&amp;mdash;from 28 mt last year to just 23 mt in 2016.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though the production of foodgrain was unaffected by the drought, the output of oilseeds and cotton took a hit, according to the latest estimates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the production of oilseeds fell by 8%, from 27.5 mt in 2014-15 to 25.3 mt in 2015-16, that of cotton fell by over 13%, from 34.8 million bales (one bale equals 170kg) to 30.15 million bales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The correction in production estimates of pulses seems to be in the right direction, but the market still does not believe the figures put out by the government,&amp;rdquo; said Ashok Gulati, agriculture chair professor at the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations, New Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;For chickpea, the government is giving an estimate of over 7 mt while the markets believe it is no more than 6 mt, due to which the prices are spiralling,&amp;rdquo; Gulati said, adding, &amp;ldquo;for wheat, 88 mt is a reasonable estimate, but the government feels it is 5 mt more. Some of these and the earlier estimates like a record milk production in a drought year can seem like a joke.&amp;rdquo;

&lt;em&gt;Overall foodgrain output, however, rose marginally to 252.22 mt in FY16, farm ministry&amp;rsquo;s advance estimates show &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The crippling drought over the past year failed to impact India&amp;rsquo;s overall foodgrain production but led to the lowest production of pulses in six years, showed the fourth advance estimates released by the agriculture ministry on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, according to the ministry, foodgrain production rose marginally&amp;mdash;from 252.02 million tonnes (mt) in 2014-15 to 252.22 mt in 2015-16&amp;mdash;despite 11 states declaring a drought last year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest estimates imply that any change to the growth rate of the agriculture sector in the gross domestic product (GDP) data is unlikely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015-16, the sector was estimated to have grown at 1.2% against a 0.2% contraction in the year before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth advance estimates for 2015-16 are also in line with the third advance estimate released by the ministry in May, which put the production numbers at 252.23 mt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the ministry revised downwards the production estimates for wheat, the main winter crop, from 94.04 mt in the third advance estimates to 93.5 mt in the latest estimates for 2015-16.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only food crop that seems to have been affected by the drought is pulses, with an estimated production of 16.47 mt, the lowest in six years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2008-09, the production of pulses stood at 14.57 mt and rose to a peak of 19.25 mt in 2013-14, the highest that India has ever produced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A lower pulse crop has led to higher prices over the past year with varieties such as arhar or pigeon pea still retailing at over Rs.140 per kg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest estimates show that the decline in the production of rice and coarse grains was offset due to a significant rise in the production of wheat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While production of rice declined from 105.48 mt in 2014-15 to 104.32 mt in 2015-16, the production of wheat rose by as much as 8% during this period&amp;mdash;from 86.3 mt to 93.5 mt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the wheat estimates for 2015-16 are at variance with the government numbers, which show a sharp decline in procurement from farmers by the Food Corporation of India&amp;mdash;from 28 mt last year to just 23 mt in 2016.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though the production of foodgrain was unaffected by the drought, the output of oilseeds and cotton took a hit, according to the latest estimates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the production of oilseeds fell by 8%, from 27.5 mt in 2014-15 to 25.3 mt in 2015-16, that of cotton fell by over 13%, from 34.8 million bales (one bale equals 170kg) to 30.15 million bales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The correction in production estimates of pulses seems to be in the right direction, but the market still does not believe the figures put out by the government,&amp;rdquo; said Ashok Gulati, agriculture chair professor at the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations, New Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;For chickpea, the government is giving an estimate of over 7 mt while the markets believe it is no more than 6 mt, due to which the prices are spiralling,&amp;rdquo; Gulati said, adding, &amp;ldquo;for wheat, 88 mt is a reasonable estimate, but the government feels it is 5 mt more. Some of these and the earlier estimates like a record milk production in a drought year can seem like a joke.&amp;rdquo;

&lt;em&gt;Overall foodgrain output, however, rose marginally to 252.22 mt in FY16, farm ministry&amp;rsquo;s advance estimates show &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;The crippling drought over the past year failed to impact India&amp;rsquo;s overall foodgrain production but led to the lowest production of pulses in six years, showed the fourth advance estimates released by the agriculture ministry on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, according to the ministry, foodgrain production rose marginally&amp;mdash;from 252.02 million tonnes (mt) in 2014-15 to 252.22 mt in 2015-16&amp;mdash;despite 11 states declaring a drought last year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest estimates imply that any change to the growth rate of the agriculture sector in the gross domestic product (GDP) data is unlikely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2015-16, the sector was estimated to have grown at 1.2% against a 0.2% contraction in the year before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth advance estimates for 2015-16 are also in line with the third advance estimate released by the ministry in May, which put the production numbers at 252.23 mt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the ministry revised downwards the production estimates for wheat, the main winter crop, from 94.04 mt in the third advance estimates to 93.5 mt in the latest estimates for 2015-16.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only food crop that seems to have been affected by the drought is pulses, with an estimated production of 16.47 mt, the lowest in six years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2008-09, the production of pulses stood at 14.57 mt and rose to a peak of 19.25 mt in 2013-14, the highest that India has ever produced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A lower pulse crop has led to higher prices over the past year with varieties such as arhar or pigeon pea still retailing at over Rs.140 per kg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest estimates show that the decline in the production of rice and coarse grains was offset due to a significant rise in the production of wheat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While production of rice declined from 105.48 mt in 2014-15 to 104.32 mt in 2015-16, the production of wheat rose by as much as 8% during this period&amp;mdash;from 86.3 mt to 93.5 mt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the wheat estimates for 2015-16 are at variance with the government numbers, which show a sharp decline in procurement from farmers by the Food Corporation of India&amp;mdash;from 28 mt last year to just 23 mt in 2016.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though the production of foodgrain was unaffected by the drought, the output of oilseeds and cotton took a hit, according to the latest estimates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the production of oilseeds fell by 8%, from 27.5 mt in 2014-15 to 25.3 mt in 2015-16, that of cotton fell by over 13%, from 34.8 million bales (one bale equals 170kg) to 30.15 million bales.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The correction in production estimates of pulses seems to be in the right direction, but the market still does not believe the figures put out by the government,&amp;rdquo; said Ashok Gulati, agriculture chair professor at the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations, New Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;For chickpea, the government is giving an estimate of over 7 mt while the markets believe it is no more than 6 mt, due to which the prices are spiralling,&amp;rdquo; Gulati said, adding, &amp;ldquo;for wheat, 88 mt is a reasonable estimate, but the government feels it is 5 mt more. Some of these and the earlier estimates like a record milk production in a drought year can seem like a joke.&amp;rdquo;

&amp;ldquo;For chickpea, the government is giving an estimate of over 7 mt while the markets believe it is no more than 6 mt, due to which the prices are spiralling,&amp;rdquo; Gulati said, adding, &amp;ldquo;for wheat, 88 mt is a reasonable estimate, but the government feels it is 5 mt more. Some of these and the earlier estimates like a record milk production in a drought year can seem like a joke.&amp;rdquo;

<em>Overall foodgrain output, however, rose marginally to 252.22 mt in FY16, farm ministry&rsquo;s advance estimates show <br />
<br />
New Delhi: </em>The crippling drought over the past year failed to impact India&rsquo;s overall foodgrain production but led to the lowest production of pulses in six years, showed the fourth advance estimates released by the agriculture ministry on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
In fact, according to the ministry, foodgrain production rose marginally&mdash;from 252.02 million tonnes (mt) in 2014-15 to 252.22 mt in 2015-16&mdash;despite 11 states declaring a drought last year.<br />
<br />
The latest estimates imply that any change to the growth rate of the agriculture sector in the gross domestic product (GDP) data is unlikely.<br />
<br />
In 2015-16, the sector was estimated to have grown at 1.2% against a 0.2% contraction in the year before.<br />
<br />
The fourth advance estimates for 2015-16 are also in line with the third advance estimate released by the ministry in May, which put the production numbers at 252.23 mt.<br />
<br />
However, the ministry revised downwards the production estimates for wheat, the main winter crop, from 94.04 mt in the third advance estimates to 93.5 mt in the latest estimates for 2015-16.<br />
<br />
The only food crop that seems to have been affected by the drought is pulses, with an estimated production of 16.47 mt, the lowest in six years.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, the production of pulses stood at 14.57 mt and rose to a peak of 19.25 mt in 2013-14, the highest that India has ever produced.<br />
<br />
A lower pulse crop has led to higher prices over the past year with varieties such as arhar or pigeon pea still retailing at over Rs.140 per kg.<br />
<br />
The latest estimates show that the decline in the production of rice and coarse grains was offset due to a significant rise in the production of wheat.<br />
<br />
While production of rice declined from 105.48 mt in 2014-15 to 104.32 mt in 2015-16, the production of wheat rose by as much as 8% during this period&mdash;from 86.3 mt to 93.5 mt.<br />
<br />
However, the wheat estimates for 2015-16 are at variance with the government numbers, which show a sharp decline in procurement from farmers by the Food Corporation of India&mdash;from 28 mt last year to just 23 mt in 2016.<br />
<br />
Even though the production of foodgrain was unaffected by the drought, the output of oilseeds and cotton took a hit, according to the latest estimates.<br />
<br />
While the production of oilseeds fell by 8%, from 27.5 mt in 2014-15 to 25.3 mt in 2015-16, that of cotton fell by over 13%, from 34.8 million bales (one bale equals 170kg) to 30.15 million bales.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;The correction in production estimates of pulses seems to be in the right direction, but the market still does not believe the figures put out by the government,&rdquo; said Ashok Gulati, agriculture chair professor at the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations, New Delhi.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;For chickpea, the government is giving an estimate of over 7 mt while the markets believe it is no more than 6 mt, due to which the prices are spiralling,&rdquo; Gulati said, adding, &ldquo;for wheat, 88 mt is a reasonable estimate, but the government feels it is 5 mt more. Some of these and the earlier estimates like a record milk production in a drought year can seem like a joke.&rdquo;

<em>Overall foodgrain output, however, rose marginally to 252.22 mt in FY16, farm ministry&rsquo;s advance estimates show <br />
<br />
New Delhi: </em>The crippling drought over the past year failed to impact India&rsquo;s overall foodgrain production but led to the lowest production of pulses in six years, showed the fourth advance estimates released by the agriculture ministry on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
In fact, according to the ministry, foodgrain production rose marginally&mdash;from 252.02 million tonnes (mt) in 2014-15 to 252.22 mt in 2015-16&mdash;despite 11 states declaring a drought last year.<br />
<br />
The latest estimates imply that any change to the growth rate of the agriculture sector in the gross domestic product (GDP) data is unlikely.<br />
<br />
In 2015-16, the sector was estimated to have grown at 1.2% against a 0.2% contraction in the year before.<br />
<br />
The fourth advance estimates for 2015-16 are also in line with the third advance estimate released by the ministry in May, which put the production numbers at 252.23 mt.<br />
<br />
However, the ministry revised downwards the production estimates for wheat, the main winter crop, from 94.04 mt in the third advance estimates to 93.5 mt in the latest estimates for 2015-16.<br />
<br />
The only food crop that seems to have been affected by the drought is pulses, with an estimated production of 16.47 mt, the lowest in six years.<br />
<br />
In 2008-09, the production of pulses stood at 14.57 mt and rose to a peak of 19.25 mt in 2013-14, the highest that India has ever produced.<br />
<br />
A lower pulse crop has led to higher prices over the past year with varieties such as arhar or pigeon pea still retailing at over Rs.140 per kg.<br />
<br />
The latest estimates show that the decline in the production of rice and coarse grains was offset due to a significant rise in the production of wheat.<br />
<br />
While production of rice declined from 105.48 mt in 2014-15 to 104.32 mt in 2015-16, the production of wheat rose by as much as 8% during this period&mdash;from 86.3 mt to 93.5 mt.<br />
<br />
However, the wheat estimates for 2015-16 are at variance with the government numbers, which show a sharp decline in procurement from farmers by the Food Corporation of India&mdash;from 28 mt last year to just 23 mt in 2016.<br />
<br />
Even though the production of foodgrain was unaffected by the drought, the output of oilseeds and cotton took a hit, according to the latest estimates.<br />
<br />
While the production of oilseeds fell by 8%, from 27.5 mt in 2014-15 to 25.3 mt in 2015-16, that of cotton fell by over 13%, from 34.8 million bales (one bale equals 170kg) to 30.15 million bales.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;The correction in production estimates of pulses seems to be in the right direction, but the market still does not believe the figures put out by the government,&rdquo; said Ashok Gulati, agriculture chair professor at the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations, New Delhi.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;For chickpea, the government is giving an estimate of over 7 mt while the markets believe it is no more than 6 mt, due to which the prices are spiralling,&rdquo; Gulati said, adding, &ldquo;for wheat, 88 mt is a reasonable estimate, but the government feels it is 5 mt more. Some of these and the earlier estimates like a record milk production in a drought year can seem like a joke.&rdquo;

Pulses output lowest in six years, show latest estimates -Sayantan Bera
