Trade sees lower acreage in MP; higher area in Maharashtra, other states

For farmers like Sunil Mukhati and hundreds of others near Indore in Madhya Pradesh, gazing at the skies as soon as they get up every day, has become a sort of ritual over the past couple of weeks.

“We have been looking at the sky every morning these last few days, hoping that we will get some showers today at least,” says Mukhati, a soyabean grower. It has been 20 days since he has planted soyabean on his 10 acres. “We badly need rains over the next 4-5 days to save the young plants,” he says.

Parts of Madhya Pradesh, the soyabean heartland, have been receiving drizzles now and then, but it is not considered adequate as the progress of monsoon has been stalled.

“Some of my friends are yet to sow soyabean as they are looking for at least 4-5 inches of rainfall,” Mukhati says. Farmers in MP are hesitant to plant soyabean, the main oilseed in the region, as they are wary of losing the seeds in case of crop failure. “Seed costs have been very high at 9,000-10,000 a quintal,” he adds.

This, in short, is the story of soyabean planting this kharif season with farmers in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra waiting for the “break” in monsoon to get over.
