Data showed that till August 23, kharif crops have actually been planted in around 106.5 million hectares-- just about 2 per-cent more than the place covered during the course of the same time frame in 2015 but 2.81 percent less than the regular land area (which is the average of the last 5 years). Fortunately is that the places under arhar, peanut, soybean, and cotton are much more than their five-year average. However, all eyes will get on the weather in the next few weeks as excess storms in September can inundate fields and create hotels which is bad for the final turnout. Till August 27, the Southwest monsoon has been 7 per-cent greater than normal along with Central and Southern India tape-recording storms which were much more than 17 per cent surplus up until now in the time. With Los angeles Nina embeding in, the rains might get back at more powerful.
