BKC Aggregators: Transforming Lives, One Farmer at a Time

Current Market Scenario The wheat market is currently experiencing high prices despite a significant production increase. Over the past month, both government and non-government entities have been actively procuring wheat, which has contributed to the price surge. Last week, wheat prices were recorded at Rs 2500 per quintal, which has now risen to Rs 2530/2535 per quintal. This trend indicates limited scope for price reduction due to continuous procurement activities across several states including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh.   Price Stability and Fluctuations Price Increase: Wheat prices have increased by approximately Rs 70-100 per quintal over the last 14 days across major trading centers. Market Stability: Prices are expected to remain steady to firm due to supply constraints and strong domestic demand. Price Fluctuations: As long as government procurement continues, prices are likely to fluctuate within a range of Rs 30-40. Fig.1 Government P

Fig. 1: Rain Activities over many regions of Tamil Nadu Current Situation A cyclonic circulation persisting over South Tamil Nadu and adjoining Sri Lanka. This system is moving eastwards, expected to form a low-pressure area over the southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining regions of South Tamil Nadu and North Sri Lanka within the next 24-48 hours. Forecast and Developments Cyclonic Activity: The low-pressure area is likely to intensify into a depression within the next 1-2 days and potentially strengthen into a cyclonic storm over the central Bay of Bengal. It may reach the northwest Bay of Bengal near the Odisha coast as a severe cyclonic storm in the next 4-5 days. Landfall is projected between Srikakulam (Andhra Pradesh) and Ganga Sagar (West Bengal), near the central Odisha coast, likely as a severe or very severe cyclonic storm.   Rainfall: South India: Heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected over the Kerala Ghats of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, south Tamil Nadu, and we
