Rabi crop sowing in India was down 46% as of October 30, covering 37.56 lakh hectares versus 69.02 lakh a year earlier. Wheat sowing reached only 19,000 hectares against 3.34 lakh last year, with officials blaming a 13% deficient June-September monsoon and poor soil moisture.
A sharp shortfall in early wheat planting raises the risk of a smaller Indian harvest in March-April, which could tighten exporters' supplies and support world wheat prices. Lower oilseed and pulse plantings also signal tighter domestic supplies for feed and meal markets.
