The Informa and Agriwatch survey encompassed 12 states that account for 80 to 98 percent of India’s production for these crops. Based on the findings of the Informa/Agriwatch survey, corn production has been increased to 23.5 million tonnes, rice production was reduced to 106.0 million tonnes, soybean production was also reduced to 11.5 million tonnes, groundnut production was increased to 6.0 million tonnes, cotton was increased to 31.0 million bales, pulse production was reduced slightly to 17.9 million tonnes and sugar production was lowered to 340 million tonnes. For 2014 harvest, the Informa and Agriwatch survey pointed to a 4 percent increase in wheat plantings from last year; rapeseed plantings are projected to increase 5 percent. General Situation This 2013 monsoon began early, followed by a normal to above-normal summer performance and is retreating about two weeks slower than normal. The region where the 2013 monsoon was below normal was in the east. States where the monsoon was 20 to 40 percent below average were Bihar, Jharkland, and the group of states that are north and east of Bangladesh. The monsoon’s poor eastern performance has lowered rice production prospects, while the above- normal rains in the central and western areas hampered soybean development. The good performance of the 2013 monsoon has raised water stored in reservoirs. India’s reservoir levels are 18 percent above average which is used in irrigating India’s winter (or Rabi) crops. This season’s reservoir levels are 16 percent above last season. The last year India’s reservoir storage was in a similarly good situation was in the fall of 2011. India’s Central Water Commission reported that 78 reservoirs had stored more than 80 percent of water capacity, five reservoirs had stored between 50 percent and 80 percent of normal storage, with only two reservoirs between 30 percent and 50 percent of normal storage with none of the country’s reservoirs having 30 percent or less of normal storage. The following chart displays India’s reservoir level cycle with comparisons with last year and normal.

India – October Crop Review and 2014 Winter Crop Prospects

Informa and Agriwatch, (Informa’s affiliate in India) conducted its crop area survey from October 14 through October 21. The survey covered yield prospects for corn, rice, soybeans, groundnuts, cotton, sugar and pulses as well as prospective wheat and rapeseed plantings. The Informa and Agriwatch survey encompassed 12 states that account for 80 to 98 percent of India’s production for these crops. Based on the findings of the Informa/Agriwatch survey, corn production has been increased to 23.5 million tonnes, rice production was reduced to 106.0 million tonnes, soybean production was also reduced to 11.5 million tonnes, groundnut production was increased to 6.0 million tonnes, cotton was increased to 31.0 million bales, pulse production was reduced slightly to 17.9 million tonnes and sugar production was lowered to 340 million tonnes. For 2014 harvest, the Informa and Agriwatch survey pointed to a 4 percent increase in wheat plantings from last year; rapeseed plantings are projected to increase 5 percent.

General Situation This 2013 monsoon began early, followed by a normal to above-normal summer performance and is retreating about two weeks slower than normal. The region where the 2013 monsoon was below normal was in the east. States where the monsoon was 20 to 40 percent below average were Bihar, Jharkland, and the group of states that are north and east of Bangladesh. The monsoon’s poor eastern performance has lowered rice production prospects, while the above-normal rains in the central and western areas hampered soybean development. The good performance of the 2013 monsoon has raised water stored in reservoirs. India’s reservoir levels are 18 percent above average which is used in irrigating India’s winter (or Rabi) crops. This season’s reservoir levels are 16 percent above last season. The last year India’s reservoir storage was in a similarly good situation was in the fall of 2011. India’s Central Water Commission reported that 78 reservoirs had stored more than 80 percent of water capacity, five reservoirs had stored between 50 percent and 80 percent of normal storage, with only two reservoirs between 30 percent and 50 percent of normal storage with none of the country’s reservoirs having 30 percent or less of normal storage.

Corn Situation and Forecast

Corn production is forecast to total 23.5 million tonnes, which is up 600 thousand from last month mainly due to an increase in yield forecast for Maharashtra. If realized, the 23.5-million-tonne forecast would be 1.3 million above last year. India’s all-corn area is projected to total 9.5 million hectares, 790 thousand above last year. Corn plantings, reported by the Ministry of Agriculture, totaled 8.22 million hectares as of October 3, which was nearly 800 thousand above that planted by the same date last year. India’s corn yield is forecast to average 2.47 tonnes per hectare, which if realized, would be 3.1 percent below last year. Kharif corn plantings were completed last month with the earliest planted crop starting to be harvested. Kharif corn is mostly in the filling stage with about 20 percent still in the vegetative stage. Kharif corn harvest is normally completed in January.

Rice Situation and Forecast

India’s rice production is forecast at 106.0 million tonnes, milled basis, which is 4.3 million below last month, but, if realized, would be 1.6 million above last year. Kharif rice production is forecast at 89.4 million tonnes, which would be 550 thousand above last season. India’s Kharif rice plantings are expected to total 39.5 million hectares, down one million from last month but 1.3 million above last year. The reduction is due to lower plantings than earlier expected as the monsoon in the east was below average. Rice plantings totaled 38 million hectares by October 10, which was about 750 thousand above the amount planted by that date last year.

Oilseed Situation and Forecast

India’s soybean harvest is forecast at 11.5 million tonnes, which is down 1.1 million from Informa’s previous forecast and, if realized, would be equal to the previous season. This season, there reportedly is a wide range of soybean production forecasts available to the market. Earlier this month the Central Organization for Oil Industry and Trade (COOIT) reduced its soybean forecast to 10.2 million tonnes. However, the Soybean Processors Association of India (SOPA) reportedly expects the crop to total 12.0 million tonnes. USDA has not provided an update since its early September forecast of 12.3 million tonnes and the latest attaché forecast production, as of September 6, was 13.5 million tonnes.

Groundnut (peanut) production is forecast at 6.0 million tonnes, which is 500 thousand larger than last month but, if realized, would be one million above last year. The larger production is due to a nearly universal increase in yield expectations from survey respondents in Gugurat, which is India’s largest producing state that normally accounts for nearly 40 percent of total production. Groundnut yields are forecast to average 1.09 tonnes per hectare, which would be 9 percent above last year. India’s Kharif groundnut harvest began about October 1 and normally continues into late December. India’s Rabi groundnut plantings normally start in early November and are completed by the end of the year.

Cotton Situation and Forecast

Cotton production is forecast to total 31.0 million bales, which is one million above last month and, if realized, would be 4.5 million above last season. The cotton yield is forecast to average a record 572 kilos of lint per hectare, which is 17 percent above last year. The increase is due to this month’s survey that indicated greater yield potential in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh. However, these increases were tempered by a sizable decline in Haryana’s production forecast. India’s Ministry of Agriculture reported that 11.5 million hectares had been planted to cotton by October 10, which represented 97 percent of intentions. This season’s above-normal monsoon rains reportedly caused some early set bolls to shed; however, the overall moisture situation is expected to be positive, promoting additional bolls to be set later in the season than normal. India’s farmers reportedly have controlled infestations of white fly and other insects this season.

Pulses

India’s total 2013 pulse production is forecast to total 17.9 million tonnes, 100 thousand smaller than last month. The 17.9-million-tonne forecast consists of 5.9 million tonnes of Kharif (monsoon) production and 112.0 million tonnes of Rabi (winter) production. Pulse plantings totaled 10.7 million hectares as of October 11, which was ahead of last season when 10.2 million had been planted by that date. Kharif pulse area is projected to total 12.2 million hectares, which would be up one percent from last season. The Informa and Agriwatch survey indicated a kharif production of 5.9 million tonnes, which is about 100 thousand lower than a recent forecast from the Indian government. Tur, urad and moong are the major pulses grown during the Kharif season.

Kharif Pulse Comments

Tur

The tur crop is likely to be harvested in December and January and early yield estimates will be available by December. According to the first advance estimates released by the government, tur production is forecast at 3.04 million metric tonnes compared to 3.07 million metric tonnes. Urad

Harvesting of the kharif urad crop is almost 60 percent complete in the major growing regions. Yields are likely to decline amid rainfall in the growing states of Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka during the month of October. According to government forecasts, urad production is expected to total 1.33 million metric tonnes in 2013 compared to 1.45 million metric tonnes during the previous season. Taking into account the government’s acreage estimates and production forecasts, yield is likely to be 576 kilos per hectare in 2013

compared to 580 kilos per hectare during the previous year. According to trade estimates, the crop is likely to be 37 percent damaged and production will be around 910 thousand tonnes in the current season. Moong

India moong yield is projected at 404 kilos per hectare in the current season (according to government forecasts) equal to the yield during the previous year. Moong yields are likely to be affected due to the lack of favorable weather at harvest in key the growing regions. According to the government’s first advance estimates, moong production is expected to total 900 thousand metric tonnes in 2013 compared to 760 thousand metric tonnes during the previous season. Arrivals are lower in various mandis amid rainfall in the growing regions. According to trade estimates, the crop is likely to be 5 percent damaged and production will be around 720 thousand tonnes in the current season. Sugar

India sugar production is forecast to total 340 million tonnes, which is down 10 million from last month but would be 4.7 million above last season. Area planted to sugar is projected to decrease 2 percent from last season to 5.0 million hectares, unchanged from last month’s projection.

2014 Wheat and Rapeseed Plantings

Wheat area for 2014 harvest is projected to total 30.5 million hectares, which, if realized would be 1.1 million hectares or 4 percent above last year. States where area was reported by survey respondents to likely increase 10 percent or more from last year include Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Other states where 3 to 6 percent increases are expected include Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. Wheat production is forecast at 95 million tonnes, which would be 2.5 million above last season. India’s wheat planting began on a limited basis in October and increases during November, and normally reaches 50 percent complete by the start of December. Wheat planting advances to 90 to 95 percent by the end of December and is normally completed by the later part of January.

Rapeseed area for 2014 is projected to total 7.15 million hectares, which would be 5.1 percent (or 350 thousand hectares) above last season. If realized, the 2014 rapeseed area is expected to be the largest since 2010 when 7.25 million hectares were sown. Based on normal winter and spring conditions, India is forecast to produce 7.3 million tonnes of rapeseed, 300 thousand above last season. Rapeseed plantings are underway with the bulk of the crop planted in November. India normally has 85 percent of its rapeseed planted by first of December and normally is done planting by early to middle January.
