Sowing of wheat, the main winter or rabi crop, 0.9% lower than the normal area of 25.8 million hectares; rice sowing lagging by 33%

New Delhi:
Sowing of winter crops is 81% complete and overall planting is close to the normal acreage for this time of the year, shows data released by the farm ministry on Friday.

Sowing of rice has been affected due to a deficit in the north-east monsoon in southern states, the data shows. Rice sowing is lagging by 33% compared to the normal or five-year average area. Last week, the difference was 20%. The area sown under rice is 29% less than in the previous year.

So far, only 0.8 million hectares have been sown with rice, which is just 18% of the normal area. In the southern states, even rainfall as a consequence of cyclone Vardah has not made a big difference.

The area sown under coarse cereals is 4.9 million hectares, which is 3% lower than the normal area of 5 million hectares. Barring rice and coarse cereals, all other crops show normal sowing.
