The overall sown area for Kharif crops has improved by 11.3 per cent as of June 27, 2025, on year on year basis, as South-West monsoon has picked up pace, with rainfall recorded at 9 per cent above the Long Period Average (LPA) until June 30, 2025, revealed a recent report by Bank of Baroda.
A rise in reservoir levels, coupled with improved sowing of kharif crops are expected to keep the supply-side concerns at bay for some time, the report prepared by the lender's research team said on Friday.
