Measures like assistance for fallow land cultivation, upland cultivation, and conversion of single crop to double crop have increased productivity. Though paddy farmers are still struggling with rising cost of production and procurement delays, they get a daily wage of Rs 700, against Rs 200-300 in other states.

Paddy farmers in Kerala have something to cheer amidst the ongoing row between the Kerala government and the rice millers over procurement.

Rice production in the state has witnessed a resurgence in the last five years after a steady decline over the last few decades, thanks to several measures taken by the government.
