With reference to the cultivation of Kharif crops in India in the last five years, consider the following statements: 1. Area under rice cultivation is the highest. 2. Area under the cultivation of jowar is more than that of oilseeds. 3. Area of cotton cultivation is more than that of sugarcane. 4. Area under sugarcane cultivation has steadily decreased. Which of the statements given above are correct?

1. Statement 1 is correct. Rice is the primary Kharif crop in India, and its cultivation consistently occupies the highest area compared to other crops during the Kharif season. 2. Statement 2 is incorrect. Jowar is a major coarse cereal. However, the combined area under various Kharif oilseeds (like soybean, groundnut, castor, etc.) is substantially more than the area under jowar cultivation. 3. Statement 3 is correct. Both cotton and sugarcane are important cash crops. During the period referred to (last five years prior to 2019), the area of cotton cultivation was generally more than the area under sugarcane cultivation. 4. Statement 4 is incorrect. The area under sugarcane cultivation in India showed fluctuations during the period and did not exhibit a steadily decreased trend. 5. Therefore, only statements 1 and 3 are correct.
