Gujarat Anticipates Record Groundnut Production Despite Flood Threat

Gujarat is expecting to grow a lot more groundnuts this year, about 66 lakh tonnes, which is a 26% increase.

Farmers planted groundnuts on a larger area of land compared to last year.

However, some areas in North Gujarat and Kutch had heavy rain and floods, potentially harming the crops.

The government plans to buy groundnuts from farmers at a set price, similar to last year, with the deadline for farmer registration extended.

Some farmers report crop loss due to the floods in certain areas.
