The growth in the agriculture sector was achieved despite a fall in wheat production.
The growth in important crops during this year is 7.24pc against last year’s 5.83pc.
The growth in production of important crops — cotton, rice, sugarcane and maize — are estimated at 17.9pc, 10.7pc, 9.4pc and 19pc, respectively.
Cotton crop production increased from last year’s 7.1 million bales to 8.3m bales;
Rice output from 8.4m tonnes to 9.3m tonnes;
Sugarcane production from 81m tonnes to 88.7m tonnes;
Maize production rose from 8.4m tonnes to 10.6m tonnes.
Wheat production decreased from 27.5m tonnes in 2020-21 to 26.4m tonnes in 2021-22.
Other crops showed growth of 5.44pc, mainly because of an increase in production of pulses, vegetables, fodder, oilseeds and fruits.
The livestock sector is showing a growth of 3.26pc this year against 2.38pc last year.
