The state government plans to double the maize production by 2027, increasing it to 27.30 lakh metric tonnes from the current 14.67 lakh metric tonnes.
A state government spokesperson said to achieve the target, the area under maize cultivation would be increased, besides stepping up the production per hectare.
The farmers have increased the area under maize sowing. As against a target of sowing on 1.71 lakh hectares, the crop was sowed on an area of 1.93 lakh hectare area.
The spokesperson said: "The state government has highlighted that maize can be cultivated in all three crop seasons and on all types of land. The crop is useful in ethanol, animal and poultry feed and medicinal form." The government is constantly making farmers aware about maize cultivation so that the farmers get the maximum benefit of this increased demand. Apart from informing them about advanced methods of farming, seed replacement is also being done speedily, he added.
The government has already brought maize under the minimum support price (MSP) so that the farmers get a fair price for their produce.
