India is currently the largest producer of milk, fruits, cashew nuts, coconuts and tea in the world, the second largest producer of wheat, vegetables, sugar and fish and the third largest producer of tobacco and rice.

Spices form the bulk of the cash crops in India. The state of Kerala, at India's southern tip, produces 96% of India's pepper, while other spices produced include cardamom, cinnamon, clove, turmeric, nutmeg and vanilla. Other cash crops from Kerala are tea, coffee, cashews, coconut, areca nut, rice, ginger and coconut. Many districts of India produce natural rubber, plantation crop such as plantains and bananas, sugar cane, jute and cotton.

Improved irrigation techniques in India, together with greater technology and more ready availability of machinery, have increased India's crop output. According to figures for 2008, the country produces 193 million tonnes of different food grains per year, among them wheat, maize, barley and millet, all of which can be counted among the cash crops as much is exported.

Food crops in India include a variety of cereals, legumes and oilseeds, among them wheat, sorghum, soybeans, rice, tapioca and groundnuts (e.g. peanuts). Food crops are subject to climate change, as monsoons and typhoons can devastate crops.
