Gujarat ranks first in oilseed, fibre output

AHMEDABAD: Gujarat maintained its first position in the country in terms of the value of oilseed and fibre output, according to a recent report prepared by the Union ministry of statistics and programme implementation (MoSPI).
The state ranks fifth in terms of value of output from fruits and vegetables and sixth for sugar, the report says. However, for other produce, the state does not figure in the five best performing states of the country, the report notes.
