This season the total sowing area under kharif has reached to 45.55 lakh hectares in Gujarat as compared to 60 lakh hectares a year ago. This is a decline of 24% so far as compared with year-ago period and can be attributed to the fact that the state has received 65% less rainfall this year. As per the state officials for the past two years the rain pattern has been somewhat erratic in the state.
The Gujarat state is experiencing a 65% deficient rainfall so far according to Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).
