India's 2026-27 Pulses Crop Depends on August-September Rains

India's 2026-27 Pulses Crop Depends on August-September Rains

India's pulses crop for 2026-27 depends a lot on the rains in August and September.

Right now, the amount of land used for growing pulses is a bit less than last year, but it's improving.

The main concern is whether there will be enough rain in the next two months.

If there isn't enough rain, it could hurt the crops that have already been planted.

However, if there is just the right amount of rain, it could actually help the crops.

Prices of pulses are stable and even lower than the minimum support price, so there's plenty of supply right now.

But if the rain doesn't come, it might affect the next crop season in 2027.
