The total vegetable output in 2024-25 has been pegged at 219.7 million tonnes, up 6% on year. Onion production for the year is seen at 30.8 million tonnes, 27% more than the previous year. Potato production is projected at 60.2 million tonnes, up 5.5% from 57.1 million tonnes a year before. Tomato output has been pegged at 20.8 million tonnes, down 3% from 21.3 million tonnes a year ago, according to the estimates.
The government has estimated spices output at 12.4 million tonnes for the year, slightly lower than 12.5 million tonnes a year ago. Turmeric production in 2024-25 is estimated at 1.2 million tonnes, up from 1.1 million tonnes a year ago.
