Mandi arrivals: Seven key summer crops see big drop -Prabhudatta Mishra & Nanda Kasabe

-Financial Express

Only three crops -- groundnut, jowar and moong -- have recorded higher arrivals on year (see chart). Even in the case of jowar and moong, arrivals fell in the largest-producing states of Maharashtra (-39%) and Rajasthan (-7%), respectively.

Amid the row over the three new federal farm laws aimed at giving unfettered market access to farmers, the producers of various crops seem to have started to rely much less on the organised APMC mandis.

According to data reviewed by FE, of the 10 major kharif crops namely paddy (common), jowar, bajra, maize, arhar, moong, urad, soyabean, groundnut and cotton, mandi arrivals have dropped in the case of seven crops, in the range of 3-53% in October from the year-ago period.

Only three crops — groundnut, jowar and moong — have recorded higher arrivals on year (see chart). Even in the case of jowar and moong, arrivals fell in the largest-producing states of Maharashtra (-39%) and Rajasthan (-7%), respectively.

Only groundnut has recorded both higher arrivals pan-India as well as in all three top-producing states – Gujarat, Rajasthan and Karnataka. This could be due to higher production of the oilseed, at 9.54 million tonne, up by 14% from the previous season.

Until October 15, things were a bit sketchy. The arrivals at mandis were showing a mixed trend – in four crops there were a 30-55% fall y-o-y while in six others there was an increase between 4% and 47%.
