&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The government&amp;rsquo;s expectation of the rabi wheat crop making good the shortfall in the drought-affected kharif season has received a setback with a lower acreage in wheat, coarse cereals and oilseeds this season. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The sowing of pulses, however, is 6.2 per cent higher than last year in the corresponding period. The sowing period ends around January 15.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The sowing of rabi wheat, coarse cereals and oilseeds has fallen behind last year, and this does not augur well for the country which is already reeling under high prices of atta, sugar, pulses and oilseeds. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Highly placed sources in the Agriculture Ministry said the wheat acreage was lagging in comparison with last year on account of the delayed sowing in Uttar Pradesh. The Centre hopes that once sowing in Uttar Pradesh picks up by mid-January, wheat acreage will be at least equal last year&amp;rsquo;s level. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Decline in rainfall &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The shortfall in mustard and jowar is attributed to dry weather conditions in Rajasthan. Though maize sowing will be higher, early indications point to a lower oilseeds output this rabi. Already the Central Water Commission has set the alarm bells ringing about less than normal storage levels in the reservoirs in Punjab, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. The Indus basin is reported to be deficient this season on account of a 22 per cent decline in southwest monsoon rain.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The area under wheat so far is 268.50 lakh hectares, compared with 272.54 lakh hectares this time last year. The government was hoping to raise the rabi wheat area by 5 lakh hectares this season, but this has not happened.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The area under oilseeds is 84.23 lakh hectares, against 90.01 lakh hectares last year, marking a decline of 6.8 per cent. While the area under groundnut is almost the same as last year, the rapeseed and mustard acreage is lower by 2.22 lakh hectares and that of sunflower has shown a decline of 2.45 lakh hectares over last year. The area under coarse cereals is 61.84 lakh hectares, against 65.41 lakh hectares last year. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;While the sowing of maize and barley is slightly higher than last year, the area under jowar is lower by 9.4 per cent. Johar sowing this year is 44.27 lakh hectares, compared with 48.90 lakh hectares last year.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Significantly, all pulses have shown a higher acreage &amp;mdash; even if marginal &amp;mdash; as in urad and moong. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The area under gram is 84.38 lakh hectares, against 81.04 last year. The urad acreage is 6.76 lakh hectares, compared with 5.11 lakh hectares last year and moong is sown on 4.68 lakh hectares, against 3.79 lakh hectares last year. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The rabi rice sowing is higher. It is 6.38 lakh hectares this year, compared to 5.23 lakh hectares last year. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The government&amp;rsquo;s expectation of the rabi wheat crop making good the shortfall in the drought-affected kharif season has received a setback with a lower acreage in wheat, coarse cereals and oilseeds this season. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The sowing of pulses, however, is 6.2 per cent higher than last year in the corresponding period. The sowing period ends around January 15.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The sowing of rabi wheat, coarse cereals and oilseeds has fallen behind last year, and this does not augur well for the country which is already reeling under high prices of atta, sugar, pulses and oilseeds. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Highly placed sources in the Agriculture Ministry said the wheat acreage was lagging in comparison with last year on account of the delayed sowing in Uttar Pradesh. The Centre hopes that once sowing in Uttar Pradesh picks up by mid-January, wheat acreage will be at least equal last year&amp;rsquo;s level. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Decline in rainfall &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The shortfall in mustard and jowar is attributed to dry weather conditions in Rajasthan. Though maize sowing will be higher, early indications point to a lower oilseeds output this rabi. Already the Central Water Commission has set the alarm bells ringing about less than normal storage levels in the reservoirs in Punjab, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. The Indus basin is reported to be deficient this season on account of a 22 per cent decline in southwest monsoon rain.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The area under wheat so far is 268.50 lakh hectares, compared with 272.54 lakh hectares this time last year. The government was hoping to raise the rabi wheat area by 5 lakh hectares this season, but this has not happened.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The area under oilseeds is 84.23 lakh hectares, against 90.01 lakh hectares last year, marking a decline of 6.8 per cent. While the area under groundnut is almost the same as last year, the rapeseed and mustard acreage is lower by 2.22 lakh hectares and that of sunflower has shown a decline of 2.45 lakh hectares over last year. The area under coarse cereals is 61.84 lakh hectares, against 65.41 lakh hectares last year. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;While the sowing of maize and barley is slightly higher than last year, the area under jowar is lower by 9.4 per cent. Johar sowing this year is 44.27 lakh hectares, compared with 48.90 lakh hectares last year.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Significantly, all pulses have shown a higher acreage &amp;mdash; even if marginal &amp;mdash; as in urad and moong. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The area under gram is 84.38 lakh hectares, against 81.04 last year. The urad acreage is 6.76 lakh hectares, compared with 5.11 lakh hectares last year and moong is sown on 4.68 lakh hectares, against 3.79 lakh hectares last year. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The rabi rice sowing is higher. It is 6.38 lakh hectares this year, compared to 5.23 lakh hectares last year. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The sowing of pulses, however, is 6.2 per cent higher than last year in the corresponding period. The sowing period ends around January 15.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The sowing of rabi wheat, coarse cereals and oilseeds has fallen behind last year, and this does not augur well for the country which is already reeling under high prices of atta, sugar, pulses and oilseeds. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Highly placed sources in the Agriculture Ministry said the wheat acreage was lagging in comparison with last year on account of the delayed sowing in Uttar Pradesh.

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Decline in rainfall &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The shortfall in mustard and jowar is attributed to dry weather conditions in Rajasthan. Though maize sowing will be higher, early indications point to a lower oilseeds output this rabi.

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Significantly, all pulses have shown a higher acreage &amp;mdash; even if marginal &amp;mdash; as in urad and moong. &lt;/font&gt;

&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The government&amp;rsquo;s expectation of the rabi wheat crop making good the shortfall in the drought-affected kharif season has received a setback with a lower acreage in wheat, coarse cereals and oilseeds this season. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The sowing of pulses, however, is 6.2 per cent higher than last year in the corresponding period. The sowing period ends around January 15.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The sowing of rabi wheat, coarse cereals and oilseeds has fallen behind last year, and this does not augur well for the country which is already reeling under high prices of atta, sugar, pulses and oilseeds. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Highly placed sources in the Agriculture Ministry said the wheat acreage was lagging in comparison with last year on account of the delayed sowing in Uttar Pradesh. The Centre hopes that once sowing in Uttar Pradesh picks up by mid-January, wheat acreage will be at least equal last year&amp;rsquo;s level. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Decline in rainfall &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The shortfall in mustard and jowar is attributed to dry weather conditions in Rajasthan. Though maize sowing will be higher, early indications point to a lower oilseeds output this rabi. Already the Central Water Commission has set the alarm bells ringing about less than normal storage levels in the reservoirs in Punjab, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. The Indus basin is reported to be deficient this season on account of a 22 per cent decline in southwest monsoon rain.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The area under wheat so far is 268.50 lakh hectares, compared with 272.54 lakh hectares this time last year. The government was hoping to raise the rabi wheat area by 5 lakh hectares this season, but this has not happened.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The area under oilseeds is 84.23 lakh hectares, against 90.01 lakh hectares last year, marking a decline of 6.8 per cent. While the area under groundnut is almost the same as last year, the rapeseed and mustard acreage is lower by 2.22 lakh hectares and that of sunflower has shown a decline of 2.45 lakh hectares over last year. The area under coarse cereals is 61.84 lakh hectares, against 65.41 lakh hectares last year. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;While the sowing of maize and barley is slightly higher than last year, the area under jowar is lower by 9.4 per cent. Johar sowing this year is 44.27 lakh hectares, compared with 48.90 lakh hectares last year.&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Significantly, all pulses have shown a higher acreage &amp;mdash; even if marginal &amp;mdash; as in urad and moong. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The area under gram is 84.38 lakh hectares, against 81.04 last year. The urad acreage is 6.76 lakh hectares, compared with 5.11 lakh hectares last year and moong is sown on 4.68 lakh hectares, against 3.79 lakh hectares last year. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The rabi rice sowing is higher. It is 6.38 lakh hectares this year, compared to 5.23 lakh hectares last year. &lt;br /&gt;

Lesser wheat acreage due to late sowing this season by Gargi Parsai

The government’s expectation of the rabi wheat crop making good the shortfall in the drought-affected kharif season has received a setback with a lower acreage in wheat, coarse cereals and oilseeds this season. The sowing of pulses, however, is 6.2 per cent higher than last year in the corresponding period. The sowing period ends around January 15. The sowing of rabi wheat, coarse cereals and oilseeds has fallen behind last year, and this does not augur well for the country which is already reeling under high prices of atta, sugar, pulses and oilseeds. Highly placed sources in the Agriculture Ministry said the wheat acreage was lagging in comparison with last year on account of the delayed sowing in Uttar Pradesh. The Centre hopes that once sowing in Uttar Pradesh picks up by mid-January, wheat acreage will be at least equal last year’s level. Decline in rainfall The shortfall in mustard and jowar is attributed to dry weather conditions in Rajasthan. Though maize sowing will be higher, early indications point to a lower oilseeds output this rabi. Already the Central Water Commission has set the alarm bells ringing about less than normal storage levels in the reservoirs in Punjab, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh. The Indus basin is reported to be deficient this season on account of a 22 per cent decline in southwest monsoon rain. The area under wheat so far is 268.50 lakh hectares, compared with 272.54 lakh hectares this time last year. The government was hoping to raise the rabi wheat area by 5 lakh hectares this season, but this has not happened. The area under oilseeds is 84.23 lakh hectares, against 90.01 lakh hectares last year, marking a decline of 6.8 per cent. While the area under groundnut is almost the same as last year, the rapeseed and mustard acreage is lower by 2.22 lakh hectares and that of sunflower has shown a decline of 2.45 lakh hectares over last year. The area under coarse cereals is 61.84 lakh hectares, against 65.41 lakh hectares last year. While the sowing of maize and barley is slightly higher than last year, the area under jowar is lower by 9.4 per cent. Johar sowing this year is 44.27 lakh hectares, compared with 48.90 lakh hectares last year. Significantly, all pulses have shown a higher acreage — even if marginal — as in urad and moong. The area under gram is 84.38 lakh hectares, against 81.04 last year. The urad acreage is 6.76 lakh hectares, compared with 5.11 lakh hectares last year and moong is sown on 4.68 lakh hectares, against 3.79 lakh hectares last year. The rabi rice sowing is higher. It is 6.38 lakh hectares this year, compared to 5.23 lakh hectares last year.
