Explanation:

Net Area Sown is the physical extent of land on which crops are sown and harvested. The land under orchards and fruit trees are not included in the category Net Area Sown. They are categorized as Area under Miscellaneous Tree Crops and Groves. It is notable that much of this land is privately owned.
