India's agriculture ministry targets record foodgrain production of 298.3 million tonnes for 2020-21, up from 291.95 million tonnes in 2019-20. The India Meteorological Department forecasts a normal monsoon with a chance of above-normal rain in August and September.
A normal monsoon and a target for record output point to ample Indian grain supply in the coming season. This is a government target rather than a realised outcome, so the immediate price effect is limited.
