As of October 30, rabi sowing in India dropped 46% to 37.56 lakh hectares from last year, with wheat sowing falling sharply to 19,000 hectares. The agriculture ministry said it is too early to raise alarms, as sowing can continue until December. A contingency plan covering 225 districts addresses moisture stress and promotes less water-intensive, climate-resilient crops amid a 13% deficient monsoon.
