Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D

Explanation

The Economic Survey 2025-26 highlights a major structural shift in Indian agriculture: horticulture production has surpassed food grain production. This trend has been consistent over the last decade, reflecting a diversification towards high-value crops. According to the Survey, horticulture production in 2024-25 reached approximately 367.72 million tonnes, exceeding the record food grain production of 357.73 million tonnes.

  • Option A is incorrect: The livestock sector has grown significantly faster (7.1% decadal growth) than the crop sector (3.5%), increasing its relative importance.
  • Option B is incorrect: Vegetable production (approx. 219.67 million tonnes) continues to be substantially higher than fruit production (approx. 114.51 million tonnes).
  • Option C is incorrect: Pulses are a subset of food grains and their production volume is much smaller than the total horticulture or food grain output.
