Mumbai, August 7 (Commoditiescontrol): Rajasthan's predominant moong-producing districts, specifically Nagaur, Jodhpur, Pali, Ajmer, and Tonk, have reported higher-than-average rainfall. These districts represent approximately 53% of India's Kharif Moong production, based on 2020 data.
For this Kharif season, Moong production is predominantly dependent on Rajasthan. In contrast, states like Karnataka and Maharashtra anticipate a significant reduction in acreage stemming from inadequate and delayed rains during the pivotal sowing window. Given this backdrop, the excessive rainfall and potential flooding risks in Rajasthan's primary Moong cultivation zones have intensified worries about the broader crop outlook for Moong this season.
Excess rains are likely to harm overall production because excess rains may increase the incidence of weeds, and farmers may not carry out intercultural operations. However, the weather is expected to dry out in the coming week, which will likely help Rajasthan's crop conditions. According to ground updates, acreage under Moong will likely remain lower by 4-5% due to drastic reductions in acreage in Karnataka and Maharashtra, despite increased acreage in Rajasthan.
Moong acreage is reported to be 2.6% lower at 28.9 lakh ha as of August 4, 2023, due to drastic reductions in acreage in Karnataka and Maharashtra.
