India's foodgrain production hits record 332.22 mn tonne in 2023-24: Govt

India's foodgrain production hit a record 332.22 million tonnes in the 2023-24 crop year, driven by bumper wheat and rice output. Wheat production reached 113.29 million tonnes, while rice production touched 137.82 million tonnes. However, pulses and oilseeds production declined due to drought-like conditions in southern states and prolonged dry spells.
