An Indian agriculture ministry official said it was too early to assess the rabi sowing season because planting can continue through December. Government data showed total rabi acreage was down 46% year over year as of October 30, including wheat sowing of 19,000 hectares versus 334,000 hectares a year earlier; the government has prepared a contingency plan for 225 districts.
The sharp early-season acreage gap raises concern about India’s upcoming wheat crop, which could support prices if sowing does not catch up. The official’s assurance that planting can continue through December tempers that risk.
