By November 6, mustard and rapeseed planting in India had reached 4.03 million hectares, down 25.4% from a year earlier, amid low soil moisture after a weak monsoon. Rabi sowing overall was also behind last year, including wheat planting, as farmers in major growing states delayed fieldwork while awaiting better moisture conditions.
Delayed planting and moisture shortages could reduce harvested area or yields, tightening domestic oilseed supplies and edible-oil production. The risk is supportive for oilseed prices if planting does not catch up.
After 1,072 past bullish weather events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.3%), and +0.3% over 20.
