Rabi maize arrivals in Bihar delayed on push back in sowing
Rabi maize arrivals in Bihar APMC yards are delayed by about 15 days due to a late sowing season. However, small quantities have begun reaching markets. Experts expect arrivals to rise in the next 15-20 days. Production is projected to be 15% higher than last year, with good quality and stable prices boosting farmer optimism.
Arrivals of rabi maize in Bihar agricultural produce marketing committee (APMC) yards, the key producing region for the winter cropping season in the country, have been delayed by a fortnight on push back in sowing period.
“There is a delay in arrivals by about 15 days, but small quantities of the crop have started arriving in the market. Over the next 15-20 days, arrivals should pick up,” said Rahul Chauhan of IGrain India.
Chauhan said the overall production in Bihar might be higher this year by about 15 per cent from last year. The quality looks good and prices are also looking good, similar to last year’s levels.
