Which one among the following is NOT included in the National Food Security Mission Commercial Crops (NFSM-CC) ?

The National Food Security Mission (NFSM) was expanded in 2014-15 to include commercial crops under the NFSM-Commercial Crops (NFSM-CC) component. According to official guidelines and government documents, the specific commercial crops covered under this mission are Cotton, Jute, and Sugarcane [3]. These crops were integrated to meet the demand for both food and cash crops while promoting crop development through demonstrations and technology transfers [5]. While Coffee is classified as a major plantation and commercial crop in India, it is not included in the NFSM-CC framework [8]. The mission specifically focuses on Cotton, Jute, and Sugarcane to enhance productivity and support the textile and sugar industries [7]. Therefore, Coffee is the correct answer as it is the crop not included in the NFSM-CC list.
