Tuber crops play a crucial role in global food security and are an important source of nutrition and income for millions of people worldwide. This study aims to analyze the global and national scenario of tuber crops production, focusing on trends and prospects. It provides insights into the current production levels, major producing regions, key challenges, and future prospects for the tuber crops sector. The analysis is based on comprehensive data from international and national agricultural databases, research papers, and reports.
