Question

Has india become self sufficient in pulses production

Answer 1

yes India is innocient

Answer 2

With two successive years of high output, large quantity of unsold stocks with the State agencies and low farm-gate prices, many within the government seem to be convinced that the country has attained self-sufficiency in pulses, and that imports are not needed any more. Any such view is not only simplistic and misplaced but also fraught with risks for the nation’s consumers.

Without doubt, India’s record harvest of 23 million tonnes (mt) in 2016-17 is most likely to be followed by an equally impressive output this year. While record output for two years in a row is a matter of great satisfaction, there is no guarantee that in the years ahead we would continue to plant large acreages and harvest equally large crops.
