An insight into status of wheat production in India
Description
The role of wheat in alleviating hunger and malnutrition, thereby establishing zero hunger and food security, is well known. Consumption of wheat in rural India has increased apparently due to the availability of nutritious cereal. The area under wheat cultivation has remained almost constant during the time under consideration (2012-2021). Yield and production have shown constant trend from 2012 to 2014, then there was a drop in both the parameters in 2015. Since 2016, both production and yield has seen a rising trend. Wheat showed 0.33 %, 1.94 % and 1.61 % growth in area, production, and yield, respectively. Among states, Uttar Pradesh recorded highest wheat production while Tripura recorded lowest wheat production. Crop intensification, resources degradation, yield plateau, pest and diseases, growing demand, declining total factor productivity are some of the major constraints faced by wheat producers in India.
