Current Crop Scenario

CORN Sowing of crop has almost completed in major growing states. Crop is 40 to 60 days old and crop is in silking/tassling to cob formation stage. However, early sown crop is dent development stage. Rainfall received during month of Aug`19 was beneficial to crop. However, crop was adversely affected in low laying areas due to heavy rains during 4th week of July`19 to 3rd week of August`19. Pest and disease have been reported on crop but same is below economic level. Overall rest of areas crop condition is normal. Acreage of Corn in the current week is higher than corresponding week of 2018 because of

rainfall received in major growing areas and higher market price realization in last year.

Bajra Crop is 35 to 60 days old and is in tillering to ear initiation stage. However, early sown crop is in initiation of flowering stage. Good rainfall received in monsoon season in major the Bajra crop growing State was beneficial for the crop. However, heavy rains received from 2nd fortnight of July`19 to 2nd fortnight of Aug`19 crop has adversely affected crop in low laying areas due to water stagnation in Rajasthan. Incidence of disease and pest has not been observed in the field till date. Overall crop condition is normal. Acreage of Bajra in the current week is higher than corresponding week of 2018 due to onset of

monsoon and higher market price realization in last year.

COTTON Crop is 105 to 135 days old and is in flowering to boll maturity/ boll opening stage. However, early

sown crop is in ready for picking in Punjab, Haryana and Western Rajasthan. In remaining areas crop

is 55 to 95 days old and is in flowering to boll development stage. Rainfall received during 1st week of

Sep`19 was beneficial to the crop. However, heavy and continuous rainfall received in month of Aug-

19 crop has adversely affected crop in low laying areas due to water stagnation in Gujarat, Madhya

Pradesh and Rajasthan. Incidence of sucking pest is observed in the field but same is under

economic threshold level. Overall crop health is satisfactory.

Acreage of Cotton in the current week is higher than corresponding week of 2018 as a result of

higher realization by farmers during the last three years.

PADDY

Transplanting of Paddy nursery has completed in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Telangana and West Bengal. In these states Crop is 35 t0 70 days old and is in tillering to heading/ flowering stage. However, early sown crop is in milking stage. Transplantation is under progress in Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. In these state Paddy transplantation window has almost closed, but transplanting will continue till September/ October except in Bihar. Crop is in establishing to panicle initiation stage. However, early sown crop is in panicle stage. Where the crop was sown through DSR (Direct Seed Rice) method, crop is in heading/flowering stage. Rainfall received during 5th week of August-19 was beneficial to crop. Incidence of disease and pest has been observed in the field and same is under control using pesticides. Overall crop condition is normal Acreage of Paddy in the current week was lower than the corresponding week of 2018 as the

weather was not congenial for transplantation in certain districts of Bihar, Andhra Pradesh,

Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu since June. Farmers prefer cultivation of Paddy because of higher yield

and better realizations in past years.

SOYBEAN

Crop is 35 to 60 days old and is in fourth Trifoliolate to pod formation/pod development stage. However, early sown crop is in pod development/beginning of seed stage. Rainfall received during month of Aug-19 was beneficial for the crop. However, due to continuous wet spell in July`19 and Aug`19 crop was adversely affected in low laying areas due to water stagnation in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Further, crop has been damaged in water inundation areas due to excess water in cannel or river. Incidence of sucking pest and yellow mosaic virus has been observed in the field. Overall crop condition is below normal to normal. Acreage of Soybean in the current week is higher than corresponding week of 2018 because of

good rainfall received in monsoon season.

• As on 3rd Sept, NAFED holds 20 Lakh MT of Chana stocks. Out of

total Chana stocks 12.30 Lakhs tonnes of Chana is of Rabi 2018

procurement and 7.76 Lakh tonnes of Chana is of 2019

procurement. Higher stocks of Chana with NAFED is putting

downward pressure on the prices.

• Moreover, NAFED has started liquidating Chana in the open

market through tenders which is pushing market downward.

However, government decision to sell Chana at or above MSP is

holding the prices.

• In general, Chana prices firms in the festive season due to good

demand of besan. However, this year demand is lower than

normal due to higher availability of Chana in the market.

• Chana availability in the market is higher as stockiest are selling

their crop. They are expecting that in the coming Rabi season

Chana crop sowing would be higher given the current weather

condition.

• According to the AGMARK data, all India Chana arrivals in 1st

week of September 2019 is 22.89 thousand MT which is around

11.49 per cent higher than last year arrivals of 20.53 thousand MT

in the same time period. Higher arrivals are due to recent increase

in domestic prices.

• According to the fourth advance estimate, India Chana

production of 2018-19 is estimated at 10.13 MMT which is 1 per

cent higher than the third advance estimate of 10.09 MMT. Final

production estimate of 2017-18 is 11.38 MMT. This year production

estimate is lower than last year due to lower sowing acreage.

• According to the latest report of ABARES, Australia chickpea

acreage forecast for 2019-20 is 3.70 lakh hectares which in 22.11

per cent higher than 2018-19 acreage estimate of 3.03 lakh

hectares. Australia chickpea production forecast for 2019-20 is

3.66 lakh tonnes which in 29.78 per cent higher than 2018-19

production estimate of 2.82 lakh tonnes. Average chickpea

production in Australia has decreased due to weaker import

demand from India.

• According to the latest report of Agriculture Department of

Canada, chickpeas production in Canada may decrease in 2019-20

to 2.30 lakh MT which is 26.04 lower than 2018-19 production

estimate of 3.11 lakh MT. For 2019-20, chickpea acreage is

expected to decrease sharply from 2018-19 as a result of the

significantly lower farmgate prices witnessed in the previous

year.

Fundamental Analysis- WHEAT

• In its most recent report released on 29th August 2019, the

International Grains Council (IGC) has forecasted global wheat

production to be 764 million MT for 2019-20 which is 4.06 per

cent higher than 2018-19 global wheat production of 733 million

MT.

• According to the fourth advance production estimate, wheat

production of 2018-19 is estimated at 102.19 MMT which is

around 1 per cent higher than the third advance estimate of

101.20 MMT. Final wheat production estimate of 2017-18 is

99.87 MMT. Higher production estimate is due to higher

sowing acreage of wheat and better yield.

• According to the latest report, FCI had sold 3.37 Lakh MT of

wheat from May to August 2019 through Open Market Sales

Scheme (OMSS). Out of the quantity sold, different state

government agencies bought 2.46 lakh MT and private buyers

bought 0.91 lakh MT. Private buyers are bidding lower amount

as they have bought good amount of wheat in the arrival

season at the lower price than reserve price.

• However, in the coming months private buyers may have to

depend upon the FCI stock as their stocks are diminishing and

sale through OMSS is expected to increase.

• According to the latest report of FCI, the current stock of

wheat as on 1st August 2019 is 435.88 Lakh MT which is 7.47 per

cent higher than the stock of 405.58 Lakh MT in the same time

period last year. Higher stocks are due to good procurement

activities this year and higher carry in stock from last year.

• According to APEDA, wheat exports from April to May 2019 is

reported at 17.625 thousand MT. In 2018-19 financial year wheat

export from India was 2.26 Lakh MT. Exports of wheat are

lower due to disparity with other exporting countries.

• According to the AGMARK data, all India wheat arrivals in first

week of September 2019 is reported at 1.82 lakh MT which is

56.89 per cent higher than the last year arrivals of 1.16 lakh MT

in the same time period. Wheat arrivals in the domestic mandis

is higher this year as compare to last year due to higher

production estimate. Moreover, farmers are selling their crop in

the domestic mandis as they are getting higher prices than MSP

of wheat.
