Paddy sowing over in 97% normal area till Sept 2, cloud over final output -Sanjeeb Mukherjee

-Business Standard

For all the kharif crops, the acreage, as on September 2, was around 106.92 mha - just 1.27% lower than last year

The acreage of paddy — the main foodgrain grown during the kharif season— continued to remain around 6 per cent lower than the acreage during the same period last year. So far, around 97 per cent of the normal area has been covered. Normal area is the average acreage of the past five years, which, in the case of kharif paddy, is 39.7 million hectares (mha).

Given that much of the sowing has happened outside the ideal window and monsoon continues to play truant over the eastern states of Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh (UP), and West Bengal, there is uncertainty over the final output, with some analysts expecting a 6-10-million tonne (mt) drop in kharif rice production this year, with others expecting modest impact. India produced over 118 mt of rice in the 2021 kharif season.
