India’s food grain production hits record 332.22 million tonne in 2023-24: Government
India’s foodgrain production hit a record 332.22 million tonnes for the 2023-24 crop year, largely due to high wheat and rice yields, as reported by the agriculture ministry. However, pulses and oilseeds production fell due to drought-like conditions in southern states. Additionally, sugarcane and cotton outputs experienced declines.
