Data showed that till August 23, kharif crops have been actually sown in around 106.5 million hectares-- almost 2 per cent more than the region covered throughout the very same duration in 2013 however 2.81 percent lower than the typical acreage (which is actually the average of the last 5 years). The bright side is that the places under arhar, peanut, soybean, and also cotton are more than their five-year standard. Having said that, all eyes will definitely get on the weather in the following handful of weeks as excess rains in September might inundate industries as well as lead to accommodations which is bad for the last turnout. Till August 27, the Southwest downpour has been 7 per cent much more than typical along with Central and also Southern India recording rains which were much more than 17 per-cent excess up until now in the time. With La Nina setting in, the storms may get back at stronger.
