The area under rabi crops during the current crop year (July 2023-June 2024) at 654.89 lakh hectares (lh) until January 5 is 1 per cent more than the normal area of 648.33 lh. It is still down by 1 per cent from 663.07 lh during the corresponding period a year ago, but the gap has been narrowed as until last week the deficit was higher, potentially helping the country to have a bumper harvest even if a tad lower from last year…..
