Wheat production to touch record 98 MT this crop year: Govt
The government has predicted the country's wheat production would touch a record 98 million tonnes in the ongoing 2016-17 crop year ending June. It had earlier estimated the wheat output to be a record 96.64 MT as against last year's 92.29 MT. The upward revision has been on account of favourable weather and feedback from states and experts, officials said.
