Which of the following States was largest producer of wheat in India during the year 2003-04?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Uttar Pradesh was the largest wheat producer in 2003-04. The examination-period Economic Survey 2004-05, Table 1.15, reports provisional production of 25.57 million tonnes for Uttar Pradesh (35.48% of all-India production), compared with Punjab 14.42 and Haryana 9.13 million tonnes. Madhya Pradesh does not displace Uttar Pradesh in that ranking. The figures refer to the requested historical year, not a current production ranking.
