Productivity of cereals and other crops is much lower than the global average
Productivity growth has been only modest over the last two decades
Levels are much lower than the potential
There is increase in crop production but mainly achieved by increasing crop land than output per acre
High yield variability due to climatic variation and reliance on rainfed agriculture
