The agriculture ministry on Tuesday estimated record output of kharif foodgrain, including paddy, and pegged its target for the entire 2021-22 crop year closer to the all-time high production figures of 2020-21. Overall, for both kharif and rabi put together, it set the target of 307 MT of foodgrain for the current crop year which is merely a million tonne less than the record output in the previous year.
