## कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंी (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

- (a) & (b): Yes Sir, a Working Group on Crop Husbandry, agricultural Inputs, Demand and  Supply  Projections  of  National  Institution  for  Transforming  India  (NITI)  Ayog  has assessed demand for foodgrains, animal and horticultural products based on Household Consumption Approach. Further,  for  every  agricultural  year  (July-June),  the  Directorate  of  Economics  & Statistics (DES) under Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare releases four Advance Estimates  followed  by  Final  Estimate  of  production  of  major  agricultural  crops  of  the country.  The  crop-wise  and  state-wise  details  of  production  of  cereals,  pulses,  onions, sugarcane and other foodgrains in the country during the last three years i.e. 2016-17 to Advance Estimate of onion)

2018-19 (as per 3 rd Advance Estimate of foodgrains and 2 nd are given at Annexure - I.

- 2 -

The first comprehensive assessment of area under cultivation of major crops (both kharif and rabi) in the country during whole agriculture year (i.e. July to June) is available with  Second  Advance  Estimates  normally  released  around  mid-February.  Therefore,  the production data of major crops for current year i.e. 2019-20 is not available.

State-wise per capita net availability per day of cereals, pulses, and other foodgrains is  not  maintained  by  this  Ministry.  However,  the  per  capita  net  availability  per  day  of cereals, pulses, and other foodgrains in the country during each of the last three years is as under:

| Crops      |   Per capita net availability per day (in grams) |   Per capita net availability per day (in grams) | Per capita net availability per day (in grams)   |

The per capita net availability per day of onion and sugarcane is not available.

(c) & (d): Depending  upon  several  factors  including  availability  of  cultivable  land, vagaries  of  nature,  agro-climatic  conditions,  availability  of  water  in  reservoir,  inter-crop relative profitability, etc, the area coverage of these crops during last three years has been fluctuating.

The details of area coverage under these crops in the country during the last three years i.e. 2016-17 to 2018-19 (as per 3 rd Advance Estimate of foodgrains and 2 nd Advance Estimate of onion) are given at Annexure-II.

(e): In order to increase acerage and production of major crops, Government has been implementing  various  schemes  viz.  National  Food  Security  Mission  (NFSM),  Bringing Green  Revolution  to  Eastern  India  (BGREI),  Soil  Health  Card  (SHC)  scheme,  Neem Coated Urea, Paramparagaat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY), Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana  (PMKSY),  National  Agriculture  Market  Scheme  (e-NAM),  Pradhan  Mantri  Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), Interest Subvention Scheme, Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) etc.

Further,  Government has substantially increased Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for all mandated crops assuring a minimum return of 50% over all-India weighted average cost of production.
