Sowing under coarse grains is about 125,000 ha, against 101,000 ha in the corresponding period last year. The rise in acreage under most crops is largely due to good rains in major growing regions of the country over the last two weeks. Betting on good monsoon rains, the agriculture ministry is targeting food grain production at an all-time high of 280 million tonne in the new crop year that starts June, higher than this year record of 273.4 million tonne.
