The Ministry of Agricultural Development (MoAD) has forecast production of four major summer cereal crops paddy, maize, millet and buckwheat to stand at 7.64 million tonnes, as against 6.89 million recorded in the same period a year ago, reports the Himalayan Times.
Since summer cereal crops contribute to around 75 per cent of the annual cereal crop production, we are expecting a good harvest of cereal crops this year, senior statistician at MoAD Hom Raj Regmi told journalists at a press meet
