The total cultivated area under wheat, the main winter staple currently in short supply, jumped 25% as on November 10, compared to the corresponding period of last year, latest official data showed, boosting hopes of a bumper 2022-23 crop. Acreages of most rabi or winter-sown crops stand higher than last year, the farm ministry’s data showed.

However, a warmer-than-average winter so far remains a concern for farmers because wheat needs consistently cold temperatures of at least 15-16 degrees Celsius during the initial stages, experts said.

The India Meteorological Department released its winter weather forecast last week, predicting normal to above-normal temperatures for northwest Indian states such as Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, which grow wheat.

Wheat has been sown in around 25.57 million hectares, compared 20.39 million hectares in the same period last year, farm ministry data show. During the full course of the rabi season, wheat is sown in about 31 million hectares.

“Farmers anticipate a high demand for wheat and a bullish market next year. This is the main reason for a jump in wheat acreage. However, warm weather remains a concern,” said Rahul Chauhan, an analyst with IGrain India, a Delhi-based commodities trader.
