✅Indian agriculture is considered Rice-Wheat system. ✅But today situation of rice and wheat are very different In case of rice India is facing surplus problem, exports are increasing, rice stocks are at all time high ✅But in case of wheat: Exports decreasing,central pool is at lowest Reasons: 1.Rice is grown both during kharif and rabi season 2. Rice is cultivated across a wide geography 16 states 3. Wheat has a single rabi cropping season 4.Wheat Production is concentrated in North Western region. 5.Structural problem in wheat production: Vulnerabilities to winter becoming shorter, warmer and less predictable. ✅In coming time India can become importer of wheat, govt should focus on increasing boosting per acre yield and breeding climate smart varieties. Time has come to de-hyphenate rice-wheat. #agriculture
