Foodgrains production for 2014-15 estimated at 257.07 million tonnes; will exceed average food grain production of last five years by 8.5 million tones https://www.taxtmi.com/news?id=14059 Foodgrains production for 2014-15 is estimated at 257.07 million tonnes, exceeding the five-year average by 8.15 million tonnes but falling 8.5 million tonnes short of the previous year due to reduced output of rice, coarse cereals and pulses amid erratic monsoon rainfall. Overall productivity of foodgrains declined marginally while several crops, notably groundnut, tur and cotton, recorded sharp yield increases. The Economic Survey stresses that improving yield and productivity is the primary strategy to bolster agricultural resilience and secure availability and affordable access to food. en-us Fri, 27 Feb 2015 14:26:15 +0530 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 15:56:33 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator Foodgrains production for 2014-15 estimated at 257.07 million tonnes; will exceed average food grain production of last five years by 8.5 million tones https://www.taxtmi.com/news?id=14059 Foodgrains production for 2014-15 is estimated at 257.07 million tonnes, exceeding the five-year average by 8.15 million tonnes but falling 8.5 million tonnes short of the previous year due to reduced output of rice, coarse cereals and pulses amid erratic monsoon rainfall.
