India's overall food grain production in the 2012–13 crop marketing year that would end in June 2013 was expected to be around 250 million tonnes, nine million tonnes less than last year's revised record output of almost 259 million tonnes because of low production during the kharif sowing season. According to the government's first advanced estimate, food grain production during the 2012–13 kharif seasons is expected to be almost 9.8 per cent less than the kharif production of 2011–12 because of an uneven southwest monsoon in most parts of the country.
