India has prepared contingency plans to support rabi sowing in 225 districts affected by an erratic monsoon and El Niño conditions, using a dashboard that will combine local rainfall, water-resource data and forecasts. Rabi sowing, including wheat, covered about 3.8 million hectares by October 30, 46% less than at the same time last year, with delayed planting attributed to untimely rain in the wheat belt.
Delayed sowing and weather uncertainty raise the risk to India’s rabi crop establishment, including wheat, which could tighten domestic availability if planting or yields are affected. Contingency support and improved rainfall could limit that risk, so the net price effect is uncertain.
