Haryana's agriculture sector has registered remarkable progress from 2005 to 2024/25, with an in-depth analysis of changing trends in area, production and productivity. The study reveals that wheat and paddy crops continue to dominate the state. Wheat production increased from 6,436 thousand tonnes in 1990-91 to 11,877 thousand tonnes in 2019-20, while productivity increased from 3,479 kg/ha to 4,687 kg/ha. Similarly, paddy area and production have also increased steadily, although its productivity has been unstable. The wheat-mustard system remained dominant in southern districts—Bhiwani, Mahendragarh and Charkhi Dadri—while districts like Rewari and Nuh gradually diversified towards oilseeds, horticulture and vegetables due to the impact of irrigation and urbanization. In Gurugram and Faridabad, urbanisation and industrialisation led to a decline in net sown area, resulting in a shift towards high-value crops and non-farm livelihoods. However, irrigation has been overly dependent on groundwater, leading to challenges such as water-table decline, erratic rainfall and resource pressure in many districts. The study concludes that technological advancements have increased production and productivity, but long-term sustainability requires crop diversification, water conservation and strengthening of market infrastructure.
