The size of rabi crop of wheat, ready to hit the market in three weeks, is equally important for economic decisions. The wheat prices have remained rather high through the year, so the farmers preferred wheat over other crops. The Government would like the prices to fall to the level of MSP, Rs 2425 per quintal, so that it can procure about 30 million tonnes of wheat. Warmer winter in January and February 2025, the general assessment is that wheat, chana and mustard production may not be much affected as the temperature has been a little cooler in March, due to snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir. Despite healthy agriculture growth, market prices were lower than the MSP for several kharif crops. Despite all the claims of using drones, satellites, artificial intelligence and machine learning, estimating the size of a crop is not easy. To illustrate, no other crop is as closely monitored as sugar cane. Every sugar mill is closely connected to the farmers as it has to procure sugar cane for operating the mill. It is the very nature of agricultural crops which makes this assessment difficult.
