+New Delhi : India’s foodgrain production is estimated to have grown 6.6%, the fastest pace of expansion in eight years, to reach a new high of 354 million tonne (MT) in 2024-25. All major crops, including paddy, wheat, maize, groundnuts and soybean, reported record output during the crop year.

+ Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan attributed the all-time record foodgrain output in 2024-25 to the Centre’s farmer-friendly policies, including fair pricing, loss compensation and low-interest loans, and their proper implementation by state govts.

+ “Overall foodgrain production is increasing continuously... Pulses and oilseeds output has to be increased further, for which efforts are being made,” Chouhan said while releasing the third advance estimates of the overall foodgrain output.  According to the estimates, wheat output was revised upward to 117 MT for 2024-25, compared with an earlier projection of 115 MT, while last year’s production was at 113 MT.

+In the ongoing Rabi marketing season, Punjab’s grain markets have witnessed a surge in the private purchase of wheat, with private players registering a 47% increase in the purchase of wheat compared to the same period last year. This trend is set to continue till the end of the season. Here is why.

+Until Wednesday (May 1), Punjab’s grain markets received 109.57 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) of wheat, compared to 113.77 LMT last year on the same date. Out of this, 107.69 LMT has been already purchased — 101.51 LMT by government agencies, and 6.18 LMT by private players like flour millers/processors. Last year, private purchases stood at 4.19 LMT on this date, despite higher quantities of wheat available for purchase overall.

+At present, there are about 70 roller flour mills in Punjab, with a daily processing capacity of 6,400 tonnes of wheat (although they operate at around 50% capacity). This translates to an annual processing capacity of approximately 12 LMT. Millers primarily focus on supplying atta, sooji, and maida within the state, and to other states.

The remaining 70-75% are procured from the Food Corporation of India’s (FCI’s) e-auction under its Open Market Sale Scheme (OMSS), and other states such as Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, which supply wheat at a cheaper rate than the FCI.

		+	New Delhi: Backed by higher acreage of water-guzzling paddy, the overall sown area of kharif (summer sown) crops crossed the ‘normal’ acreage (average of past five years) figure for the first time this sowing season even as the country has so far recorded a cumulative monsoon rainfall deficit of 9%.
		+
		+	Though acreage of pulses and oilseeds remains a worry, reporting 5% and 1% less sown area, respectively, this year compared to the corresponding period of 2022, farmers recorded nearly 3% higher acreage of paddy than last year.  It took the overall acreage of kharif crops to 1,095. 4 lakh hectares which is marginally higher than the ‘normal’ acreage of such crops (1,095. 3 lakh hectares). In 2022, the overall acreage was 1,092 lakh hectares even as the year reported good monsoon rainfall.
		+
		+	Higher acreage of paddy at 409 lakh hectares in 2023 (10 lakh hectares higher than the 2022 figure) can be attributed to increasing drought proofing of farming operations where use of groundwater and minor irrigation resources bridges the monsoon rainfall gap.
		+
		+	In such a situation, farmers, however, prefer only those crops such as paddy and sugarcane which can fetch them good returns due to procurement at minimum support price (MSP) and sale at fair and remunerative price (FRP), respectively. Like paddy, sugarcane too requires a lot of water.

 Despite the fact that over a hundred lakh tonnes of foodgrain stocks as old as 2007-08 were lying in the custody of states, the government continued on a procurement drive. Also, at a time when the government’s spend on food subsidy was estimated to touch Rs 1.25 lakh crore, it exported foodgrain from its overflowing reserves at subsidized rates causing loss of over Rs 1,700 crore (in 2012-13).
