The RBI Bulletin reviews India's 2022-23 kharif season, noting above-normal southwest monsoon rainfall but uneven distribution and late-season heavy rain that could hurt standing crops. It outlines a rabi outlook where September rains, higher minimum support prices and a normal northeast monsoon could lift wheat acreage and yields.
A stronger Indian rabi wheat outlook could reduce import needs and add supply to Asian feed grain markets, a mildly bearish factor for wheat and corn prices.
