Tracking the fields: Kharif acreage surpasses 5-year average, shows data | Agriculture


The area under all kharif crops surpassed its five-year average for the week ended September 13, according to the latest data. Sowing for most crops is complete, and the final harvest of some is either entering or about to enter the markets in the coming weeks, traders said. The data may be delayed due to reporting lag. However, with rains continuing across many parts of India, there are concerns about the final yields of some crops due to field flooding.
