ABSTRACT
Subject and purpose of work: The purpose of this study is to determine the area and production status of food grains in India. Materials and methods: The current study was conducted using secondary data that was gathered from numerous sources, including the Statistical Abstract of Haryana, and the Economic Survey. Between 1991–1992 and 2021–2022, the area and production of food grains have seen a compound growth rate. Results: The results show a fluctuating trend in area and production during the years 1991-92 to 2021-22. For the study period, the mean average of the production and area of food grains was estimated. Conclusions: Agriculture is still a significant sector for the economy from the perspectives of self-sufficiency and employment, despite the sector's diminishing GDP proportion over time. The trajectory and expansion of GVA, investments in agriculture, and food grain crops were all examined in this article.
