India's rabi crop sowing as of November 13 stood at 178.25 lakh hectares, down 11.34% from last year, with wheat acreage down 15.28%, pulses 14.34% and oilseeds 7.37%. The shortfall follows a 13% below-normal southwest monsoon and unseasonal rain, with El Niño adding uncertainty.
Lower Indian wheat, pulse and oilseed plantings could reduce domestic supply and raise import demand, supporting wheat and oilseed meal prices and tightening feed ingredient availability.
After 1,076 past bullish weather events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.3%), and +0.3% over 20.
