Govt sets record foodgrains production target

“We have targeted the rice production at 117.5 million tonnes and wheat production at 106.5 million tonnes - almost equal to last year’s estimated output. We are focusing on increasing the output of pulses and oilseeds as import bill of edible oil is rising every year,” said agriculture commissioner S K Malhotra during the national Kharif conference on Thursday.
