A senior agriculture ministry official said,
“This may be a reflection of government’s commitment for continuing minimum support price (MSP) system. Farmers are inclined more towards growing wheat and paddy due to assured procurement for centre-run food security scheme. The acreage will go up more before sowing ends on January 29, specially paddy. ”
He added,

“Mustard has registered a record acreage this year – up by 7.34% from last year. Higher areas have been reported from Rajasthan, Haryana, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh. The increase in pulses area indicates a better output this year, reducing dependence on imports.”

The water storage in 128 key reservoirs in the country is 22% more than 10-year average while the rainfall during this month is 76% more than normal rains received during this time.

The official also added that,

“There is abundant water availability for irrigation. Low temperature with morning dew is helping wheat and mustard crops in northern India. We expect the conducive conditions for healthy growth of crops to continue for next few weeks.”

Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said,

“This year, we hope better foodgrain production in the rabi season from last year’s record output of 153.27 million tonnes.”

The government has set a goal of achieving 300 million tonnes of foodgrains, with rabi season crops contributing 151.65 million tonnes.
