According to the latest forecasts, India’s roots and tubers production is projected to increase annually from 61.598 million metric tons in 2024 to 65.397 million metric tons in 2028. Assuming production stood at 60 million metric tons in 2023, the year-on-year growth reflects steady increments averaging around 1.6% per year over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period from 2024 to 2028 is expected to remain moderate, supporting a gradual upward trend in production volumes. This sustained growth is vital to meet the increasing demand driven by population growth and consumption patterns.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in agricultural practices.
- Government policies impacting agricultural outputs.
- Climate change effects on agricultural yields and crop patterns.
