Recent data reveals a snapshot of potato production across key states in India for the year 2021, highlighting significant variations in yield per hectare. The figures, sourced from the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, showcase West Bengal and Gujarat as the frontrunners in potato cultivation productivity.
Topping the chart is West Bengal with an impressive yield of 33.1 tonnes per hectare. Closely following is Gujarat, demonstrating a robust output of 31.0 tonnes per hectare. These two states stand out as leaders, indicating favorable conditions and efficient agricultural practices for potato farming.
In the subsequent positions, Bihar records a yield of 27.6 tonnes per hectare, while Haryana achieves 26.5 tonnes per hectare. Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, both significant agricultural states, show yields of 25.9 and 25.4 tonnes per hectare respectively. While these states demonstrate considerable potato production, their yield per hectare is notably lower compared to the leading states of West Bengal and Gujarat.
This data, compiled in 2021, provides valuable insights into the regional dynamics of potato yield across India. It underscores the varying agro-climatic conditions, agricultural techniques, and resource availability that influence potato production in different states. For further detailed information, the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare remains the primary source for comprehensive agricultural statistics in India.
