Which one of the following is the correct sequence in the decreasing order of production (in million tonnes) of the given food grains in India? (UPSC Prelims 2007)

Question

In India, rice production typically exceeds wheat, followed by coarse cereals (such as jowar, bajra, maize with 40-50 million tonnes), then pulses (around 25-30 million tonnes). For 2022-23, rice production was approximately 135 million tonnes, wheat about 110 million tonnes, coarse cereals around 55 million tonnes, and pulses near 26 million tonnes. Thus, the correct decreasing order is Rice > Wheat > Coarse Cereals > Pulses, corresponding to option 2.
