Ever increasing population has put unexpected pressure on the productivity and production of food grains. The state of Uttar Pradesh which is seen a strong contributor to overall food grains production has always been at the fore front to contribute. In this study it is tried to know how the agricultural output on different parameters is in the period starting from 2011-12 to 2018-19. These parameters are area under production, average change and actual production of crops under cereals, pulses, oilseeds, and other crops like potato & sugarcane. It has been observed that on almost all parameters there has been a pattern of upward change. Production has increased significantly, so is the productivity of almost all major crops. The good part is that the area under agriculture has not changed much during the study period bur actual production & productivity has jumped manyfold. The study reveals that all round efforts by governments and farmers in the state are responsible for this achievement.
