Rajasthan Rabi Sowing Trails Targets as Monsoon Disrupts Planting
10 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Rabi sowing in Rajasthan is going at a slow pace
- Wheat and barley sowing has not reached 50% of state targets
- Only 12% of wheat has been sown as of November 6
As of November 10, 2025, the rabi sowing season in the Indian state of Rajasthan is progressing at a slow pace, disrupted by a prolonged monsoon. According to commodity traders, the sowing of winter crops, particularly wheat and barley, has not even reached 50% of the state agriculture department's targets, with only 15-20 days left for planting.
The data from the Rajasthan Agriculture Department shows that as of November 6, 2025, only 12% of the wheat crop has been sown in the state, a significant decline from the previous year's levels. The delayed sowing is attributed to the prolonged monsoon season, which has disrupted the normal planting schedule for these winter crops.
Despite the slow progress, traders remain optimistic that the sowing will pick up in the coming weeks, and the state will be able to achieve its targets. However, the current situation raises concerns about the potential impact on the overall winter crop production in Rajasthan, a major agricultural state in India.
