Mumbai, Ta. 28 December 2019, Saturday
Due to the significant increase in cultivation of wheat, sorghum and pulses, the area under cultivation of rabi crop has increased by 8.5% over the previous week. 3 lakh hectares of rabi crop has started growing.
Last week, the acreage of this winter crop was 5 lakh hectares. The Agriculture Ministry released the figures on Friday.
Wheat cultivation in the same period during the last rabi season has increased by 5% this year over the same period. Wheat cultivation has been done in 1 lakh hectares this season. The maximum increase has been observed in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. In these states, water revenue increased significantly during the monsoon this year. Which has a direct effect on grain cultivation.
However, in the traditional wheat-growing states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab, the area under cultivation remained almost the same as last year or increased marginally. The production of pulses has also increased significantly in the current week compared to last week. Harvesting of pulses was started this week in 4 lakh hectares.
