  • For the crop sector, between 1996 and 2005, cereals (pearl millet and wheat), oilseeds (rapeseedmustard), and high-value crops were the main contributors to growth.
  • The share of cereal in the gross cropped area declined from an average of 46 percent during 1995–2005 to 41 percent during 2006–15.
