Organic Millet, Wheat and Double‑Crop Grain Production Surges Nationwide, Says ICAR Report
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research reports a sharp rise in organic millet, wheat and double‑crop grain output across the country this year, reaching record levels under chemical‑free methods.
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has released a report indicating a significant increase in the production of organic grains across India. In the current year, output of millet, wheat and double‑crop grains cultivated using chemical‑free organic practices has risen to a record level nationwide.
The report highlights that the surge reflects growing adoption of organic farming methods among growers, driven by heightened consumer demand for chemical‑free produce. The increase spans the entire country, underscoring a broader shift towards sustainable agriculture.
ICAR officials attribute the growth to supportive government policies and increased awareness among farmers about the benefits of organic cultivation. The data suggests that organic grain production could continue its upward trajectory if current trends persist.
The findings are expected to inform future agricultural strategies and reinforce India's commitment to expanding organic farming as part of its food security and environmental goals.
