monsoon has covered half of India's landmass four days behind the
usual schedule, failing to recover from a late start that has slowed
sowing of summer crops in a country where half of the farmland still
lacks irrigation. India's farming sector accounts for about 14% of its
nearly $2 trillion economy. Inadequate rains can not only hurt farm
output but also stoke inflation, a cause of major concern for the new
government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The annual rains arrived over the southern Kerala coast five days behind the normal June 1 start and then entered a lull,
with poor rains over the interior parts of southern India. Rainfall was 45% below average for the week ended June 18,
compared with 48% below average the previous week, weather office data showed on Thursday. "Rainfall has increased
in some parts of the central region, but monsoon has continued to be weak," said a weather official who did not want to be
named. Weather officials, however, expect the monsoon to strengthen over the soybean growing areas of central India and
rice growing areas of southeastern region in the next week.
P. Chengal Reddy, head of the lobby group Consortium of Indian Farmers Association, said farmers were waiting for the
monsoon rains to gather momentum to speed up sowing. In the initial days of the June-September monsoon season,
summer crops are not hugely affected by the quantity of rains. But its distribution in mid-July after the monsoon covers
the entire country is important for their growth.Sowing activities of major summer crops such as rice, corn, soybean, cane
and cotton have started in many areas but at a slower pace. The northwest belt can withstand delay in sowing up to 10
days, deriving benefits of healthy soil moisture due to good pre-monsoon showers," Farm commissioner JS Sandhu said,
adding that farmers could also turn to reservoirs, in which water levels are up around 25% this year compared with year-
ago levels.
Favourable reservoir levels and plenty of government grain stocks could help mitigate the impact of poor rain this year,
according to the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations. Earlier this week the government
imposed export curbs on onions and ordered a crackdown on hoarding to check food price rises, after wholesale price
inflation hit a five-month high in May. The weather office has forecast below average rainfall in 2014 due to fears of El
Nino, a weather event marked by the warming of sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean that can lead to droughts
in the Asia Pacific region including India. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology's latest forecast put the chance of El
Nino at 70%.
