- During the just-concluded financial year of 2024-25, Tamil Nadu recorded a marginally higher coverage of foodgrains when compared to the previous year.
- Its achievement in 2024-25 was about 38.6 lakh hectares as against 37.98 lakh hectares in 2023-24.
- However, it fell short of the target of 40.15 lakh hectares by about 1.5 lakh hectares.
- 9.1 lakh acres, or 3.68 lakh hectares, had suffered the crop damage due to events such as Cyclone Fengal in November-December 2024 and unseasonal heavy rain in January 2025.
- As a result, the government had sanctioned about ₹546 crore in the form of input subsidy to 6.16 lakh farmers under the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF).
- For 2025-26, the government has fixed targets totalling 40.3 lakh hectares, of which paddy’s share is 20.3 lakh hectares; and millets and pulses 10 lakh hectares each.
