Kabuli Chana Crop Report
★ As you know, I Grain India released the Kabuli Chana crop report on Thursday for the regions of Indore, Dhamnod, Dewas, Ujjain, Ratlam, and Javra.
Here are the key points from the report:
★ Currently, the overall condition of the crop in all areas is good. However, in some regions, there are reports of reduced acreage. In these areas, farmers have prioritized maize over Kabuli Chana.
★ After the crop report, I Grain India conducted an analysis, which is as follows:
★ The new crop will arrive in about 20-25 days. The area cultivated is almost the same as last year, or slightly less.
★ Last year's productivity was lower, and the initial estimate was that the production would reach 5-5.5 lakh tons, but the weather had an adverse effect, and the production ended up being around 3.75-4 lakh tons.
★ This season, the crop condition seems normal so far. However, the increase in temperature in recent days could impact productivity, especially for crops that were sown later.
★ Of the total area, 60% is late sown, and there was less damage to crops sown before November.
★ If the weather remains favorable, production could reach 5-5.25 lakh tons. However, if the weather turns hotter, production may be limited to 4.5 lakh tons.
★ Higher temperatures could reduce the quantity of larger-sized Kabuli Chana.
★ Based on demand from March to April, the price of caliber Kabuli Chana is expected to be around 100 INR per kg. If the weather is favorable, prices might drop to 90 INR per kg, but if the weather worsens or temperatures increase, prices could rise to 110-120 INR per kg.
★ In conclusion, the future of Kabuli Chana depends heavily on the weather conditions.
