2022-23 foodgrain output set to hit record 330MT

The government has estimated the country’s foodgrain output in 2022-23 crop year to hit a record of over 330 million tonnes (MT), which is 14MT (over 4%) more than the production in the previous corresponding year, despite the unseasonal rains that hit north and west India in March. Such freak weather did not impact wheat crops much and the key cereal of the foodgrain basket reported a record output of 113 MT.
