“Total area under sowing (24.1 million hectare), as on June 28, is sharply higher (33 per cent YoY) than last year. This is mainly due to accelerated sowing of pulses and oilseeds,” the report noted.
The acreage used for planting rice hasn’t changed from last year, while sugarcane has done better. Cotton sowing is significantly greater among non-food crops.
At this stage in 2023, the total area under sowing is 22% of the typical area seeded, up from 18.6% in 2023.
“July is extremely important in this regard with nearly 80 per cent of sowing activity completed by the end of the month,” said Arora.
