Haryana’s Wheat Bounty: Feeding the Nation, Securing the Harvest
Haryana has significantly contributed to India’s national wheat reserves, supplying 332.89 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) to the central pool over the past five years. Annual procurement figures, however, fluctuated depending on the harvest.
The state’s crucial role in national food security is underscored by these substantial contributions. This consistent supply highlights Haryana’s agricultural prowess and its commitment to national food security.
Looking ahead to the Kharif season, Haryana’s demand for Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertilizer stands at 2.83 LMT. Authorities assure adequate availability of this vital input from April to July.
This timely assurance regarding fertilizer availability is crucial for ensuring a robust Kharif harvest. The state’s proactive approach to both wheat procurement and fertilizer management holds valuable lessons for other agricultural regions striving for similar success. The upcoming Kharif season will be a key test of these strategies, impacting not only Haryana but also the nation’s food security.
