Time to break-free from paddy for sustainable agriculture in India - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Therefore, if the area, production, and yield of paddy are assumed to remain as they are in 2023-24, the government would be able to save over Rs 6 lakh crore in Punjab and Haryana, over the next decade.

Especially, the agrarian states of Punjab and Haryana should decrease their reliance on paddy production as they have a low contribution to the national pool of food grains at 8.8 per cent from Punjab and 3.8 per cent from Haryana.

The suggested change in agricultural practices could also ease the fiscal burden of the central and state governments of India as their expenditure on the production and procurement of paddy would reduce.
