The drought-hit districts of Maharashtra have started receiving some rainfall but not enough, just yet, according to the state government. Monsoon arrived ahead of schedule in most parts of western India, but Aurangabad, Nanded and Jalna districts, which are part of Marathwada region, have not received enough rain. The average rainfall in these areas has been about 100mm to 120 mm. Though there has been some increase in the water level in dams, there has not been enough rain for agriculture in this region.

Speed up pepper adulteration probe

The Madhya Pradesh-based Kalimirch Vyaapari Association has urged the Commissioner of Food Safety, Kerala to expedite its investigation into adulteration of pepper at warehouses of the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange in Kerala and submit its report soon. The Association highlighted the delay of over five months in testing black pepper sealed at NCDEX-authorised warehouses for traces of mineral oil. The 6,800 tonnes of pepper locked up at the warehouse is valued at Rs 300 crore. (Source: Business Line)

Monsoon fills Gujarat reservoirs; sowing picks up

With the early onset of the monsoon and Gujarat receiving nearly 17 per cent of its annual rainfall in the first two weeks of June, the State has warded off fears of a prolonged summer causing an acute water crisis, and sowing of seeds has picked up. Sowing of major cash crops such as groundnut and cotton has commenced across the State. By the end of last week, cotton had been sown over nearly 1,200 hectares and groundnut over 500 hectares, an agriculture official said. Paddy cultivation, however, is yet to begin in the Charotar areas of Central Gujarat, which are yet to receive adequate rains. Last year, groundnut and cotton was sown in 14,500 and 27,000 hectares, respectively. (Source:

Sugarcane production may decline by 20%

Sugarcane production is going to decline this year as the state will produce 20% less sugarcane compared to last crop year. In the last crop year, Karnataka had produced 3.20 crore tons of sugarcane, and it is expected to touch 2.6 crore ton this year. According to State Sugarcane Growers' Association, farmers are abandoning sugarcane cultivation due to increased cost of cultivation and decrease in profits. Experts contend that the shortfall is due to severe dry conditions last year, and the same is said to have taken a toll on the current year crop. (Source: Times of India)

Govt may sell 10 mt wheat from Central pool

The Government proposes to offload about 10 million tonnes (mt) of wheat from the Central pool stocks in Punjab to domestic bulk buyers and exporters. This open market sale could help the Government control rising domestic prices on the lower-than-expected crop. The Food Ministry has moved a proposal that may come up before the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs soon. Of the 10 mt, about 8.5 mt would be earmarked for domestic bulk buyers under the open market sale scheme (OMSS) at a likely price of around Rs 15,000 a tonne, official sources said.

Russia wheat harvest starts early; volumes seen up, quality down
Russia, one of the world's largest wheat exporters, will start this year's wheat harvest on a large scale next week, two weeks earlier than usual, the state weather forecaster said on Tuesday. Last year, a drought slashed Russia's wheat harvest by one third, while the share of higherquality milling wheat increased. This year, wheat volumes are expected to recover to near previous levels, while quality falls back to the usual level of about 70 percent milling wheat and 30 percent feed wheat, traders said. Russia's southern regions of Krasnodar and Stavropol, responsible for its largest wheat production and cereal export via the Black Sea, started the harvest a few days ago, according to a representative at the weather forecaster.

Vidarbha farmers may shift to Soya crop this Kharif season

Large number of traditional cotton growers in Vidarbha region may shift to soya this Kharif season as cropping pattern was set to change after the onset of monsoons, according to agriculture experts. The total cotton sowing area is likely to be reduced by 10 lakh hectares from 40 lakh hectares on one hand and an increase by the same numbers in soya cultivation area may take place, since soya was a cash crop and yield was satisfactory in terms of acerage, they said. Another reason could be that cotton growing has become costly and returns are poor. (Source: Business

Farmers to get maize seed worth Rs. 1.62 cr

Maize seed of worth Rs 1.62 crore will be distributed in four blocks of Fatehgarh Sahib district this season Chief agriculture officer Jasvir Singh said the Punjab government is providing 75% subsidy to farmers on maize seed. He said the Punjab government is making all efforts to promote maize cultivation in the district so the maize seeds worth Rs 1.62 crore will be distributed for only Rs 40.5 lakh. Bains, on Tuesday, flagged off four special vans to encourage farmers on maize cultivation. (Source: Hindustan Times)

Chana
Chana futures settled almost flat as supplies are sufficient to cater the domestic demand. July futures settled 0.13% higher on Tuesday. Chana prices are sustaining above their MSP levels since past two weeks. Despite of god demand at such lower levels, sharp upside in the prices is capped despite of good demand mainly on account of higher production this season along with good progress of monsoon is restricting. Sowing of kharif pulses have commenced in the rain fed areas Maharashtra & Karnataka on account of timely and normal rains. Spillover effect of kharif pulses is capping sharp upside in chana prices. Sowing of kharif pulses was adversely impacted last year and was down by 16 percent due to deficient rains.

Demand supply scenario

Higher returns earned in 2012, coupled with a hike in minimum support prices (MSP), have helped expand overall chana acreage in 2012-13 season. Chana sowing in 2012-13 was 5.65% higher at 95.17 lakh ha compared to previous year. According to third advance Estimates released on 3 May 2013, Total pulses output for 2012-13 season has been pegged at 18 mn tn, up 5.76% compared to previous year. Out of the total pulses output, kharif output is estimated at 4.03% lower at 5.95 mn tn while rabi pulses output is pegged 9.25% higher at 12.05 mn tn compared with the final estimates of 2011-12. Chana output is pegged marginally lower to 8.49 mn tn compared with its second advance estimates of 8.57 million tonnes. However, chana output is expected to breach its 2010-11 record output of 8.2 mn tn in 2012-13. Erratic weather in M.P. lowered the yield.

NCDEX July contract

Trade Scenario
According to IBIS, imports of chana in the month of April 2013 declined to 0.04 lakh metric tonnes compared to 0.11 lakh metric tonnes during the previous month. India imports Chana mainly from Australia and Canada and higher availability in these countries at comparatively cheaper rates is seen boosting imports of Chana to meet the domestic shortfall. In Australia, total chickpea production in 201213 is estimated to have increased to a record 713000 tones as compared with 485000.

Outlook
Chana may trade on a mixed note today. Declining arrivals from major producing states as well as good demand from stockists may support prices at lower levels. However, good rains, thereby, prospects of better kharif sowing may pressurize prices at higher levels. Seasonal pattern in chana indicates that prices generally bottom out in May when arrivals reach their peak, while they start recovering gradually June onwards with declining supply pressure. Thus, going forward downside seems to be limited as prices are near their MSP levels.

Soybean
Soybean continued with its upward trend for fifth straight session on account of tight supplies of the oilseed in the domestic markets coupled with good soy meal export demand. Spot as well as July futures settled % and 1.7% higher on Tuesday. Despite of good progress of monsoon & hopes of better sowing, Soybean prices remained in a positive territory on account of supply tightness in the domestic markets along with the firmness in the international markets due to delayed planting. In the domestic markets, the planting of kharif oilseeds such as groundnut, sesame and castor has started in states such as Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Soybean sowing has commenced with good monsoon over Maharashtra and MP. Monsoon has covered almost the entire country a month before the normal schedule. As per the Ministry of Agriculture, oilseeds sowing is 1.57 lakh ha against 1.56 lk ha last year. According to the 3rd advance estimates, Soybean output is pegged at 14.14 mn tonnes. IMDs forecasts of normal monsoon have raised hopes of better output next season too. International Markets CBOT soybean remained firm during most part of the session however settled marginally lower by 0.1percent on Tuesday. Price are on an upward trend since past few weeks as supplies are tight till the new crop arrives in the US and delayed planting will further delay harvesting adding to the already squeezed stocks. According to the latest USDA report, 85% planting is complete as against 98% last year and a five year average of 91%. The government is predicting record soybean yields this year despite intense spring showers that have delayed planting & damaged crops already in ground prevented farmers from sowing all of their seeds. According to NOPA, soybean crush increased from 120.1 mn tn in April to 122.6 mn tn in May.

Refined Soy Oil
Ref soy oil July contract traded gained 0.33% higher on accounts of rising demand for edible oil ahead of Ramadan. Rupee depreciation also supported prices. Edible oil prices have gained in the domestic markets in the last 2-3 weeks on account of weak rupee which was making imports costlier. India meet 50-55 percent of its edible consumption through imports and thus rupee factor is a major determinant of edible oil prices. As per the data released by the Solvent Extractors' Association of India, imports of vegetable oils, including non-edible oils, rose 40.2% to 917,964 tn in May, after dropping for 3 months, mainly due to surge in palm oil imports. Monthly soy oil imports rose 2.7% as local supplies are almost exhausted before the new planting season for soybean. Edible oil stocks as on June 1, 2013 at various ports were estimated at 6.75 lakh tonnes and about 13 lakh tonnes are in the pipeline.

Crude Palm Oil

MCX CPO as well as Malaysian palm oil futures gained % higher on Monday. Prices have gained significantly on account of good demand ahead of Ramadan. Malaysia has set palm oil export tax at 4.5% for July, unchanged for the fifth month. Exports of Malaysian palm oil in first half of June surged as much as 19% as buyers stocked up for Ramadan that falls in July. Communal feasting during Ramadan drives up consumption of vegetable oil. Exports of Malaysian palm oil products for June 1-15 rose 15.7 percent to 707,148 tonnes, compared with 611,277 tonnes shipped during May 1-15. India's refined palm oil imports hit a record high in May by jumping 47.5 percent from April. The world's top buyer of vegetable oils imported 373,837 tonnes of refined palm oil in May. The jump in refined palm oil purchases will raise the clamour for increasing import duties to protect local oilseed growers and refiners against cheaper supplies from major exporters Indonesia and Malaysia. But the Indian government is yet to pay any heed as inflation has only just reached comfortable levels.

Global Sugar Updates

LIFFE Sugar as well as Raw sugar on the ICE corrected on account of profit taking and settled 0.53% and 1% lower on Tuesday. Prices have declined due to three back to back years of sugar surplus coupled with supplies from Brazil. Prices recovered over the preceding two sessions as rains have halted harvesting in Brazil over the last 7 days. Brazils cane industry association, Unica, projects South-Central Brazil cane crush at 589.60 million tons for 2013/2014. Main center-south sugar cane crop will produce a record 35.5 mn tn of sugar in the 2013/14 season, higher by 4.1% compared to 34.1 mn tn last year. However, in its latest bi monthly report, Unica reported a fall in the output in the second half of May due to late rains in Brazil and a shift towards ethanol production. The ISO has forecast sugar surplus of atleast 3.5 mn tonnes for 2013-14 season. Reports that China may curb imports as their stocks have more than doubled last season have also added to the downside.

Monsoon and Sowing

The southwest monsoon has now covered the entirety of India, four weeks ahead of schedule and the earliest on record. The early onset has brought hope of good sowing and higher output for the coming season. The major guar growing states in India are Rajasthan, Haryana, and Gujarat. Sowing in the irrigated areas takes place during early June while in the rain fed areas it starts with the onset of monsoon in July. Guarseed area increased significantly Last year. With favorable monsoon and higher returns acreage may remain higher in the coming season too.

Production and Exports

According to Rajasthan Farm Departments third advance estimates, Guarseed production stood at 20.23 lakh tonnes in 2012-13. Although production is higher compared to the previous year, but still it is much below the initial expectations on account of erratic monsoon last year. In the coming season, higher sowing along with timely rains may boost guar production across India. However, if rains turn truant in the major guar growing areas, then this may adversely impact output. Exports which touched record 7.07 lakh tonnes in the FY 2011-12, declined in the FY 2012-13 as US, the largest importer of Guar gum has stocked huge inventories. During the FY 2012-13, guar gum exports stood at 4.58 lakh tonnes during April 2012-February 2013. US has stocked
