• Crop Situation Update(A joint assessment of 2010 summer crops and outlook for 2011 einter crops)2011-02-21

  The 2010/11 production for major summer crops (paddy, maize and millet) is estimated at 4.46 million MT, 2.07 million MT and 0.30 million MT respectively, representing an increase of 10.9 percent, 11.5 percent and 1.0 percent over the previous year, respectively.

  The winter crop is currently in growing stage and its outlook so far remains good, with production likely to be higher than last year, due to extended monsoon rains in 2010, which kept the soil moisture favourable for the germination, and to good precipitation during January-February 2011 favourable to growth, especially for wheat.
