Explanation:

Foodgrains consist of only cereals and pulses while oilseeds form a separate cropping variety.
Rice and wheat are regarded as fine grain cereals while cereals like jowar, Bajra, ragi etc. are termed as coarse grained cereals. The classification is based on the high fibrous and more nutritious content of coarse grained cereals and their preference order by different income groups.
