MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS’
WELFARE RELEASES THIRD ADVANCE ESTIMATES
OF PRODUCTION OF MAJOR AGRICULTURAL
CROPS FOR 2024-25
The Third Advance Estimates of production of major agricultural crops for the
agricultural year 2024–25, have been released by the Ministry of Agriculture &
Farmers’ Welfare. The country has achieved a record foodgrain production and is
estimated at 3539.59 LMT, which is higher by 216.61 LMT than the foodgrain
production of 3322.98 LMT in 2023-24 registering approx. 6.5% increase.
The Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare and Rural Development, Shri
Shivraj Singh Chouhan stated that under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime
Minister Shri Narendra Modi, continuous reforms and farmer-centric initiatives have
led to sustained growth in the agriculture sector. Enhanced adoption of technology,
robust policy support, and improved agri-infrastructure have together contributed to a
record increase in crop production.
In the agricultural year 2024–25, record production has been achieved in key crops
including rice, wheat, maize, groundnut, and soybean. This record production is
largely due to a favorable monsoon and ideal weather conditions. Timely and well-
distributed rainfall across major crop growing states significantly improved soil
moisture, promoting healthy crop development and creating optimal conditions for
cultivation. As a result, there has been a considerable increase in kharif sowing area,
along with higher yields in major kharif crops such as rice, maize, bajra, moong,
soybean, and sugarcane. Furthermore, the improved soil moisture contributed to an
expansion in cultivated area during the rabi and summer seasons. Also, the
intermittent rainfall during rabi season further enhanced overall agricultural output.
The details of the production of various crops are given as under:
Total Foodgrains– 3539.59 LMT
➢ Rice -1490.74 LMT (Record)
➢ Wheat – 1175.07 LMT (Record)

➢ Soybean – 151.80 LMT (Record)
➢ Rapeseed & Mustard – 126.06 LMT
➢ Sugarcane – 4501.16 LMT

LMT. Production of Tur is estimated at 35.61 LMT which is higher by 1.44 LMT from
last year’s production of 34.17 LMT.
Total production of oilseeds is estimated at 426.09 LMT which is higher by 29.40
LMT from last year’s production of 396.69 LMT. The production of Soybean is
