Rabi crop sowing in India has fallen 46 per cent behind last year's pace as of October 30, with wheat planting barely started. The shortfall follows a 13 per cent deficit in the June-September monsoon, which left too little soil moisture and irrigation water.
A late or reduced Indian wheat planting raises the risk of lower harvest volumes in March-April, which could tighten domestic supply and support import demand and world wheat prices.
