Haryana’s Wheat Yield: A Five-Year Rollercoaster
Haryana’s contribution to the central wheat pool has fluctuated significantly over the past five years, reaching a total of 332.89 lakh metric tonnes (LMT). The state’s annual yield has varied due to several factors, including weather patterns and agricultural practices.
Despite these variations, the state’s contribution remains crucial to national food security. This highlights the importance of consistent agricultural policies and support for farmers.
Meanwhile, the state’s fertilizer needs for the upcoming Kharif 2025 season appear to be adequately met. The pro-rata requirement for Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertilizer has been fulfilled, with supplies distributed efficiently through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.
This timely and transparent distribution system is a positive step towards ensuring timely availability of essential inputs for farmers, boosting agricultural productivity and ultimately contributing to national food security. The success of this model will be closely watched by other states grappling with similar challenges.
