Data presented that till August 23, kharif crops have actually been actually raised in around 106.5 million hectares-- just about 2 per-cent greater than the area covered in the course of the exact same time period in 2013 yet 2.81 per-cent less than the ordinary acreage (which is actually the standard of the last 5 years). Fortunately is that the regions under arhar, groundnut, soybean, and cotton are actually much more than their five-year standard. Having said that, all eyes will definitely be on the weather condition in the following few weeks as excess storms in September might flood areas and also trigger lodging which is bad for the last yield. Till August 27, the South west gale has been 7 per cent greater than regular along with Central and Southern India documenting rains which were actually much more than 17 per cent surplus up until now in the period. Along with La Nina setting in, the storms might get back at stronger.
