TLDR
- Cereal output has risen sharply, while traditional cash-crop production reached about 1.6 million tonnes in 2025/26, a 10 per cent increase from the previous season.
- The government is targeting more than 2.1 million tonnes in 2026/27.
- Production gains are welcome, but erratic rainfall, crop losses and high food prices can still threaten supplies.
- But the next phase should be judged by whether higher production translates into higher, more reliable incomes for farmers.
