Jaipur: The data released by Rajasthan Khadya Padarth Vyapar Sangh stated that there was a 20% decline in the production of agricultural commodities in Rajasthan compared to last year (2020).
While there was a 20% decline in Bajra’s production, there was a decrease of 35% in cotton production and 30% in moong production.
The data analyzed by the Sangh also stated that with the decline in agricultural product production, there would be an increase in the price of goods on the market.
“Bajra’s production will drop from 39 lakh tons last year to 34 lakh tons this year.
Of the total production of Bajra, 70 percent has been damaged this year because of the rain.
This has caused a difference between Rs 400 in the broken and good quality Bajra prices (Rs 1,600 per Quintal for damaged Bajra and Rs 2,000 per quintal for good quality Bajra).
Compared to 17 lakh Gaanth last year, only 13-14 lakh gaanth to be produced this year, “said Babulal Gupta, Chairperson, Rajasthan Khadya Padarth Vyapar Sangh.
“Last year, Moong’s production was 14-15 lakh tons.
This year, it will go down to 12 lakhonne.
Soyabean production fell from 8 lakh tons to 1 lakh ton.
Production has fallen due to heavy rainfall this year,” said Gupta.
“The production of peanuts remains the same as last year, which is 20 lakh tons.” “Shower traders get directions from this data about running a business in the future.
The lack of production will not only affect tax collection in Mandis, but also government revenue,” he added.
“In addition, in the Bharatpur belt, Bajra sowing by farmers is less than last year.”
