India?s 2025-26 Record Food grain Target: Opportunities Amid Challenges

Agriculture is the backbone of India?s economy and food security, providing livelihoods to millions and supporting rural development. With a growing population, achieving record foodgrain production is critical to meet dietary needs and ensure economic stability. This article examines India?s 2025-26 foodgrain target of 362.96 million tonnes, analyzing trends in production, seed and fertiliser availability, irrigation, mechanisation, and government policies such as MSP. Over the past few years, favourable monsoons, increased seed and fertiliser availability, and mechanisation have contributed to improved yields. However, challenges remain, including uneven distribution of resources, quality issues, limited access for small farmers, soil health concerns, and infrastructure constraints. Addressing these challenges is crucial for sustaining productivity and building a resilient agricultural sector.
