Agriculture & Food Security MCQ — 2 अभ्यास प्रश्न उत्तर सहित

Explanation

India's pulse production increased from 16.35 MT to 26.06 MT, a rise of 59.4%, while import dependency dropped from 29% to 10.4%. The report targets complete self-sufficiency by 2030.

Explanation

Statements 1 and 3 are correct. India is the world's largest pulse producer (~25% of global output) and consumer (~27%). Import dependency dropped from 29% to 10.4%. Statement 2 is INCORRECT — over 90% of pulse areas are RAIN-FED (not irrigated), which is a key structural challenge.
