Over the past few days, areas of central, eastern and southern India have been exposed to heavy rains, which created havoc during harvesting. While cumulative seasonal precipitation in India exceeds the norm by 5%, an excess of 24% was recorded in central India, which led to flooding in many areas.

According to a recent report, southern India recorded 15% more than normal rainfall, which contributes to crop growth, while rainfall in the northwest, east and northeast of the regions is still below normal.

According to the report, Madhya Pradesh is the most affected state in central India, causing concern not only about delays in harvesting, especially soybeans and legumes, but also about their quality and yield.

Soybean yields this season (September-October) may be lower than last year due to incessant rains in Madhya Pradesh. It will be possible to speak about the size of losses only by mid-October.

Cotton production in 2019-2020 may be higher than in the current season, as it is reported that the area under crops will be 5% higher. Harvest conditions are also better, with the exception of minor losses in several states.

On the other hand, the area of ​​rice, as well as its yield will be lower due to the lack of rainfall in the rice belt of eastern India.
