This year, global cereal output is likely to touch an all-time high, owing to favourable climatic conditions and an improvement in seed and soil fertility. Data compiled by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations show cereal output may stand at 2,500 million tonnes (mt) this year, 8.4 per cent higher than last year and six per cent more than the previous record in 2011. In a report, Crop Prospects and Food Situation, FAO estimated this year, wheat production would rise 7.8 per cent, coarse grains 12 per cent and rice one per cent. |
