Towards the end of last month we had looked at states in India with the maximum land under wheat and rice cultivation (both on an absolute and a relative basis). We revisit that topic of rice and wheat cultivation here, except that now we look at production (in KG) and productivity (KG per hectare). The data at data.gov.in spans from 1998 to 2010, but data for all states is not available for 2009 and 2010, so assuming that production patterns don’t change drastically, I’ve used data from 2008 to look at the biggest producers of these commodities.
Four figures offered without further comment.
1. Top wheat growing states in India (as of 2008)
2. Productivity growth in major wheat growing states of India
3. Top rice growing states of India (as of 2008)
4. Productivity growth in major rice growing states of India
