1 Weekly Monsoon Report 18September 2017

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Monsoon season is towards end and the seasonal rains have remained below normal so far. Rainfall activities have gradually declined from June till the second week of September. However it is satisfactory to note that there were intermittent weeks of good rainfall during each months which has given some relief to the farmers. For the country as a whole, cumulative rainfall during this year s southwest monsoon season has been below LPA by 6% during 1 June till 17 September Northwest and Central India are more adversely affected. Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh including Chhattisgarh remains the states receiving lesser rainfall during current monsoon season. IN UP and Haryana more than 70% districts have received deficit rainfall. In MP and Chhattisgarh, more than 50% districts are rainfall deficient. However, the situation is comparatively better in other states. The rainfall deficiency seen from June till mid- August was compensated largely during September in the southern states. At all India level, around 39% of the total districts remains rainfall deficient. Seasonal rainfall was excess/normal in 29 and deficient/scanty in 7 out of the 36 meteorological subdivision during June 01- September 13, As compared to same period of last year, the number of deficient/scanty divisions is slightly less. In September second week, the number of deficient rainfall subdivisions remains 7. Rainfall deficient subdivisions increase during August 2017 however after witnessing good rains during last week of the August, the number of deficient rainfall subdivisions reduced from 10 to 6 only. In July the number of such sub-divisions remained in range of 3-4 only. In June the number of deficient rainfall sub-divisions was in range of As per the IMD, during 1st week (15-21 September), rainfall activity is likely to be above normal over most parts of Peninsular & northeast India. Overall, rainfall activity is likely to be slightly below normal over India as a whole. During 2nd week (21 to 28 September), rainfall activity is likely to be normal to above normal over most parts of the country. Overall, rainfall activity is likely to be above normal over India as a whole during 2nd week also. At all India level, around 99% of the normal area of whole Kharif season has been sown till 15 September Pulses have been sown on around 133% of the normal sown area under pulses during kharif season while cotton and sugarcane sowing is completed on around 99% and 100% respectively. The sowing of oilseeds and cereals have been done only at 93% and 95% of the normal sown area under these crops. As per the reports published by the ministry of agriculture, the total sown area as on 15 September 2017, stands at lakh hectare as compared to lakh hectare seen at this time last year which is around 7.73% less. Highest percentage increment is registered in Cotton and Urad. The sown area under cotton increased by around 19% compared to the corresponding period of last year. Sugarcane sown area is increased by 9%. There is substantial reduction in the oilseeds sown area (-9%). The pulse sown area is also down by 4% compared to the area sown during corresponding period of last year. In Pulses, Urad sown area is increased by 21% while Tur has seen a decline of 18% compared to corresponding period of last year. In Oilseeds, soybean and groundnut, the sown area has shown decline of around 8 and 12% compared to the corresponding period of last year. Harvesting time has started and new crop arrivals of some crops like oilseeds and pulses has started hitting the markets. Soybean, Moong and Urad crop is being harvested. Paddy and Maize harvesting will start soon. By and large there has been normal growth status in majority of the crops however water stress due to deficient rains may result in to some reduction in yield. Further there may be damage to the crops in certain areas where floods were there like Gujarat region. Some incidences of localized disease infestations were also observed in crops like Cotton in Haryana and Punjab and soybean and Pulses in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

12 MARKET FEEDBACK ON SOWING STATUS OF IMPORTANT COMMODITIES Note: This section gives some sense about the sowing progress and crop growth status in important commodities as received from the discussion with the farmers and market value chain participants from time to time. It may significantly vary from government / other sources as well as the actual status. Thus, it may not be used for wider generalization of the results. Harvesting time has started and new crop arrivals of some crops like oilseeds and pulses has started hitting the markets. Soybean, Moong and Urad crop is being harvested. Paddy and Maize harvesting will start soon. By and large there has been normal growth status in majority of the crops however water stress due to deficient rains may result in to some reduction in yield. Further there may be damage to the crops in certain areas where floods were there like Gujarat region. Some incidences of localized disease infestations were also observed in crops like Cotton in Haryana and Punjab and soybean and Pulses in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Guar seed also got water stress conditions in some districts of Rajasthan including Sir Ganganagar/Bikaner/ Hanumangarh etc. Recently SOPA officials carried out a crop survey to get the Soybean status in country. They found that overall, germination is satisfactory. In some areas, re-sowing had to be done because an extended dry spell. They also estimated that area under soybean may decrease by about 6.4% over last year s area estimate of SOPA. Over all condition of the Soybean crop in most of the areas is Normal. In some parts of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, where light soil exists, Soybean crop has already been damaged due to moisture stress, which may affect the overall productivity adversely in these areas. There is not much change in the area in Maharashtra and Rajasthan. The extended dry spell caused attack of some pests and insects in some areas. Attack of white grub larva was seen in some districts of Madhya Pradesh. Normally this does not happen in black cotton soil but the dry spell caused this which led to total damage to the standing crop in a small area was reported. No threat to crop by weeds was seen. Recent rains were reported from some areas of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, which will save the crop from further loss in yield Weekly Monsoon Report 12 Monday, 18 September 2017

13 Impact of deficit rains on Turmeric Crop in Tamil Nadu Erode Turmeric crop is adversely affected due to deficit rains in Tamil Nadu. However rains have improved recently. In Telangana and AP the rains are good which may positively impact the yield. Weekly Monsoon Report 13 Monday, 18 September 2017
