Production
Achievement of Pulses
As
a result of the concerted efforts of Technology Mission on pulses, the pulses
production in the country increased from 12.86 million tonnes in 1989-90 to
14.91 million tonnes in 1998-99. Similarly, the area under pulses increased
from 23.41 million ha. in 1989-90 to 23.5 million ha. in 1998-99. There has
been marginal decline in the production of pulses during the period of
1999-2000 to 2002-03 due to drought conditions in the major pulses producing
States. However, the downward trend in pulses production was reversed in the
year 2003-04 by achieving a production of 15.23 million tonnes against the
target of 15.00 million tonnes, due to favourable weather conditions and
support by the Govt. under development programmes and policies.
