Soya Outlook Report

 All India Monsoon 01 June to 13 July, 2021 Actual: 263.1 mm Normal: 279.8 mm Percentage Departure from Normal: -5.97 %


The progress of Indian Monsoon has been rather erratic this year. While it has been normal, active and vigorous in most part of countries it has been deficient in major agriculturally important sates like East Rajasthan MP. UP , Bihar , Tamilnadu and Rayalaseema. So far Monsoon has been deficient to extent of nearly 6%.

           Rainfall in Major Soya Belt


In major soybean growing areas of MP Cumulative rainfall (from June 01, 2021, until July 13, 2021) has sharply been lower from normal (long term average). In western MP, Dhar, Barwari, Khargon, Khandwa, Indore, Shajapur received 20 to 45% lower rainfall from the long-term average. Only Sehore Vidisha, Bhopal &, Betul recorded normal or just above normal rains. (Source: IMD)

          Forecast for next 15 days

Ministry of Agriculture of Govt of India progress report on sowing of major crops dated 09 July 2021, mentioned that Soybean has been sown in an area of 82.14 lakh hectares as compared to 92.36 lakh hectares for the corresponding week in 2020 reflecting over 10% lower area under cultivation this year. Sowing has been affected because of the very high prices of quality seed and its unavailability for sowing purposes. Very high prices of beans were responsible for farmers off-loading all their stocks. There are reports that some farmers were helped by soya crushers in making seeds available for sowing. Besides, erratic rainfall has been responsible for lower area under cultivations far for soybeans this year. The rainfall forecast for the next 15 days also presents a gloomy picture over the entire MP. Except for Betul, Sehore, and Sahjapur rest of the soya belt in MP is unlikely to receive adequate rainfall to revive sowing conditions. 

        Farmers Feedbacks

We at BKC Aggregators run an App called FASAL SALAH which connects us with lacs of farmers on one-to-one basis. We provide to the farmers weather linked advisories based on his soil, his variety, date of sowing using artificial intelligence Farmers also send their drop pictures for us to run ML programs to improve advisories further.

One Fasal Salah user Shri Gauri Shankar Patidar of Ujjain district in Madhya Pradesh reported that he had to sow soybeans twice this year due to deficient rains in the area and failed germination.

Another Fasal Salah user Shri Yogendra Singh of Khandwa district in Madhya Pradesh told that crop was suffering because of delayed monsoon . Recent showers on 10th and 11th of July have provided some respite. He reduced the soybean area by half as compared to last year.


Amit Kumar, a young farmer from Narsinghpur district has mentioned that generally, monsoon rains in 1st week of July or pre monsoon showers were considered sufficient to start sowing . But this year pre monsoon showers came early at a wrong time signaling onset of monsoon which is yet to set properly and evenly. This year he has sown soybean only in 1.5 acres as compared to 5 acres last year because of  germination problems.

 

A farmer from Vidisha district of Madhya Pradesh said that more than half of the plants are facing issues like yellowing or drying of leaves. He will shift to other crops like moong and has reduced sowing area from previous year.

 Similar sentiments were echoed by several other farmers in his own village.

 Ghanshyam Singh, a soybean farmer from Ujjain district reported that he has sown the soybean seeds in same area as in previous years but growth of crop is disappointing him due to lack of rainfall.


                    Conclusion


Soya crop in MP is going to be much lower on account of lower acreage as well as deficient monsoon so far.

     Weather forecasts for next 15 days does not offer any hope for reversal of the trend.


    We will keep updating the reports of Soya and other major crops which are available on subscription

कृषि क्षेत्र मे महिलाओं का योगदान

  आज महिलाएं हर जगह हर क्षेत्र में अव्वल स्थान पर है चाहे वो घर का काम हो या बाहर का काम वह दोनों चीजों में सामंजस्य बैठा के आगे बढ़ रही है और हर चीज़ को अच्छे से संभाल रही है। वह पुरुषों के साथ कदम से कदम मिलाकर चल रही है ऐसा कोई क्षेत्र नहीं जहाँ उन्होंने अपना नाम रोशन न किया हो। बात की जाए कृषि क्षेत्र की , कृषि क्षेत्र में जितना योगदान पुरुषों का है उतना ही योगदान महिलाओं का भी है ।   भारत की लगभग 70 फीसदी आबादी ग्रामीण इलाकों में रहती है जिनके आय का जरिया खेती से ही निकलता है। घरेलू कार्य के साथ साथ वह खेत का सारा कार्य अच्छे से संभालती है। अनेक कार्य जैसे पौधों को रोपना , बीज लगाना फसलों की कटाई आदि कामों में वह निपुण हैं साथ ही साथ अन्य कार्य जैसे पशुपालन , मुर्गी पालन , मधुमक्खी पालन आदि को भी वे बड़ी बखूबी से निभाती हैं अन्य कार्य जैसे दूध घी एवं दही बनाना , आचार एवं चटनी , पापड़ आदि बनाने से वह आमदनी अंकित कमाती हैं और घर संभालती हैं। आज के समय में वह नई तकनीकों को सीखकर अच्छा पैसा और काम दोनों कमा रही हैं और अपना योगदान कृषि में बखूबी दे रही है । कृषि क्षेत्र में महिलाओ

Technology - Advising Farmers and Crop Yield Assesment

Food security in the light of climate change is a global imperative. In developing nations, the problem is exacerbated by variable weather, lack of reliable extension services to optimize yield and fair market access. In India, most farmers do not have access to weather advisory forecasts that are hyper local to their field and timely in nature. As all farming activities are heavily dependent on weather, decisions on application of fertilizers and pesticide, irrigation, and even plucking of fruits & vegetables and harvesting cannot be taken efficiently. In addition, significant crop losses, that are entirely preventable, accrue through adverse weather events. Crop advisory services, where available, are generic and not pegged to a farmer's seed variety, date of sowing, and growing conditions and hence do not dispense timely, actionable advice, directly relevant to a farmer. Likewise, market trends pertinent to their particular crop and location

LOWER POTATO PRODUCTION EXPECTED THIS YEAR IN NORTH INDIA: Inclement Weather in most growing areas be responsible

Potatoes are the most staple diet of India. It is grown in abundance in northern India. Being a staple diet, it is the most grown vegetable in India. The best season to grow potatoes is between October and December.  This year could witness sharp fall in production of Potatoes and prices could remain firm through the season. 2 Major Factors are; Factor1: Low temperatures Winter of 2021-22 has been very harsh in North India for long stretches.  Comparison minimum of temperatures for last 7 years which represents major producing districts can be seen from chart below: Temperatures in 2021-22 have persistently be lower than that of corresponding period in 2020-21 An Ideal temperature for growing potatoes is between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius. Anything lower or higher than this range means the potato growth gets affected. When temperatures drop drastically the potato grows at a slower rate. And this happens due to lower oxidation levels which invariably leads to lessened tubular growth. F
