Data presented that till August 23, kharif crops have been actually sown in around 106.5 million hectares-- just about 2 per-cent much more than the location covered during the very same time period in 2014 yet 2.81 per cent less than the normal land area (which is actually the average of the last 5 years). The bright side is that the regions under arhar, groundnut, soy bean, as well as cotton are greater than their five-year average. Having said that, all eyes will perform the weather in the next couple of full weeks as excess rains in September could possibly swamp fields and also cause lodging which misbehaves for the final yield. Till August 27, the Southwest downpour has been 7 percent much more than normal along with Central and also Southern India recording rainfalls which were actually more than 17 per-cent surplus until now in the time. With La Nina setting in, the rainfalls may get even more powerful.
