Present Perfect Tense in a Real-Life Scenario

I was reading The Sunday Times of 5^th April 2026 this morning and saw a perfect example of why textbooks are sometimes unable to explain the use of the Present Perfect Tense in real life.

In this article with the headline “India clocks bumper foodgrain production”, the journalist uses simple past tense in the beginning by stating that ‘India recorded an unprecedented foodgrain output”, however, the tense shifts to the present perfect tense in the third paragraph of the same article where the journalist states that, ‘Meanwhile, agricultural exports have grown steadily in recent years.’ This indicates that the exports have risen from the past till now.

The Takeaway: While writing about an activity that started in the past and continues to the present, use the present perfect tense.
