Abstract:
The present study was undertaken in Haryana State during the year 2016-17. The results of the study revealed that wheat and rice are the major cereal crops of Haryana state. In case of wheat and rice, the contribution of Haryana State in central pool was 24.13 and 8.05 percent during the year 2015-16. Though the percent of wheat and rice contribution to central pool was fluctuated but it was recorded highest in case of wheat during the year 2005-06 i.e. 30.41 percent whereas, in case of rice it was highest during the year 2015-16 i.e. 8.05 percent during the study period. The availability of food is very important because Haryana is the major state in India which is providing food to a huge population so proper attention is needed in availability of food to ensure the future food sustainability in India.
