It has 85 per cent of its area under cultivation. the state on an average, account for 23% of Wheat , 14 % of cotton and 10% of rice production of the whole country.
The efforts of the state government to provide irrigation facilities, cheap power and agriculture inputs at subsidised rates have acted as a catalyst for agricultural production. Total production of food grains rose from 170.92 lakh tonnes in 1987-88 to 207 lakh tonnes in 1992-93. Agricultural production is now nearing the saturation point. Punjab's contribution is highest in the procurement of food grains for the central pool. Production of wheat in 96-97 was 136.78 lakh tonnes, a record. To reduce dependence on wheat , paddy rotation , the state government is encouraging gradual shift in the cropping pattern to oil seeds such as Sun-flower and Soya beans with positive results. The state is on he threshold of a second spurt n productivity levels.
