India's Cereal Yields Improve but Remain Below China's Levels in BRICS Comparison
India has the largest cultivated area among BRICS nations but produces significantly less grain per hectare than China, the bloc's top cereal producer. India's cereal yields for rice, wheat, and maize have steadily improved but remain well below China's levels. While India's maize yield rose sharply, overall cereal production slightly declined in 2025. Experts attribute yield differences to factors like irrigation, crop varieties, and climate sensitivity. Comparisons with Brazil and Russia show varied yield performances across crops within BRICS countries.
