In southern states, the crop is facing moisture stress,&#8221; said a New Delhi based dealer with a global trade house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India had the driest August in more than a century as the country received 36% less rainfall than normal in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Millions of India&#8217;s growers start planting summer crops such as rice, corn, cotton, soybeans, sugarcane and peanuts from June 1, when monsoon rains typically begin lashing India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The monsoon is critical as nearly half of India&#8217;s farmland lacks irrigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Farmers had planted 19 million hectares with oilseeds, including soybeans, by Friday, against 19.2 million hectares a year earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corn was planted on 8.3 million hectares, up from 8 million hectares a year earlier. The cotton area was slightly smaller at 12.3 million hectares, while pulses planting fell by 8.5% from a year ago to 11.9 million hectares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ministry of Agriculture &amp; Farmers&#8217; Welfare keeps updating the provisional sowing figures as it gathers more information from the state governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The planting figures are also subject to revision depending on progress of the June-September monsoon season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Reporting by Rajendra Jadhav; editing by Barbara Lewis)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Higher rice planting could alleviate supply concerns in the world&#8217;s second biggest producer and consumer of the grain MUMBAI&nbsp;&#8211; Indian farmers have planted 39.8 million hectares (98.3 million acres) with rice, up 3.7% on the same period last year, farm ministry data showed on Friday, as record high prices prompted farmers to expand the area.
