Deficient monsoon rainfall has delayed sowing of key Kharif crops— rice, pulses, oilseeds, maize and cotton—with overall sown area being 18.27 million hectares (Mha) as on June 25, a 23% year-on-year decline. According to the Agriculture Ministry, total sowing till last Thursday was about 16% of the normal area of 110 mha in that window. By the same time a year ago, more than 21% of the normal area had come under fresh crops.
