India's Pulse Area Gap Narrows
VANCOUVER - Aug 31/12 - SNS -- India's farmers made excellent progress seeding this year's pulses during the past week, with the result area planted so far this year is only down 576,000 hectares from this time last year, compared to a 1.4 million deficit last week.
Farmers planted 940,000 hectares of pulses during the past week, which is unusually high for this part of the planting season. The recent improvement in monsoon rainfall has had a clear impact on farmers attitudes, encouraging them to plant more late season pulses than in the past.
Land in pulses now totals 9.77 million hectares, compared to 10.346 million at this time last year, 10.952 million in 2010 and 9.309 million in 2009. Normally, 93% of all the kharif season pulses that will be planted, have been planted by the start of the end of August.
