Govt revises down 2022-23 wheat output by 2.19 mn ton to record 110.55 mn ton in final estimate

By
The Indian government has revised downward its wheat production estimate for the 2022-23 crop year to 110.55 million tonnes, down by 2.19 million tonnes from the previous estimate. Unseasonal rains during harvesting led to some loss, resulting in the downward revision. However, rice production is estimated to reach a record 135.75 million tonnes, coarse cereals production is higher at 57.31 million tonnes, and oilseeds production has reached a record 41.35 million tonnes. Cash crops like sugarcane and cotton also saw increases in production.
