Uttar Pradesh Sees Rise in Oilseed, Pulse Crop Acreage

Uttar Pradesh Sees Rise in Oilseed, Pulse Crop Acreage

Farmers in Uttar Pradesh are planting more oilseeds and pulses.

This means they are growing more crops like sesame, groundnut, soybean, and pigeon pea.

The area where these crops are grown has increased a lot.

Sesame farming has seen a big jump.

The total area used for growing crops during the Kharif season has also gone up.

This could be because farmers are finding these crops profitable or because the government is supporting this shift.

More land is now being used to grow these crops compared to last year, showing a positive trend in farming.
