Benefits Of High Yield May Not Pass On To Farmers, Claim Leaders
This is higher by 5.84 million tonnes than the production achieved during 2019-20. Outlook Web Bureau Feb 25, 2021
The second advance estimates of production of principal crops for the year 2020-21 reveal a record production of 303.34 million tonnes of food grains, said the Union Agriculture Ministry in a statement.
This is higher by 5.84 million tonnes than the production achieved during 2019-20. Further, the production during 2020-21 is higher by 24.47 million tonnes than the previous five years’ (2015-16 to 2019-20) average production of food grain, it added.
But farmer union leaders are not too upbeat about the benefits that will pass on to the tillers.
