Soyabean production in India expected to rise to 11.1 MT: USDA

15 Oct 2012 Evaluate

In the current marketing year, Soyabean production in the country which commenced this month, is expected to rise marginally to 11.1 million tonnes (MT), according to the report compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This expectation by the US agency is based on preliminary field assessments and is marginally higher than last year. However, this expectation is down by 0.4 MT as compared to the previous estimate and is below the output estimates of the government and industry body Soyabean Processors Association of India (SOPA).

The USDA had pegged India’s soyabean output in marketing year (MY) 2010-11 at 11 MT while SOPA expects the production at 12.68 MT in the MY 2012-13. On the other hand, the first advance estimate of the Agriculture Ministry has pegged the output of the important cash crop at 12.62 MT. In the last season the country produced 12.28 MT, as per government data.

In 2012-13 marketing year, soyabean area has reached an all time high of 10.7 million hectares which was up by 367,000 hectares compared to last year. This can be attributed to the fact that there had been late arrival of monsoon rains over major soybean growing regions. This late monsoon helped in gaining the much needed soil moisture which encouraged late planting, extending at some places till the end of July. Low average yield due to late planting will be partially offset by the gain in planted area.

As compared to an average price of Rs 20,239 a tonne in the month of October, 2011, the prices of soyabean seed in the market were currently hovering in the range of Rs 30,000 per tonne in the second week of this month. This strong domestic price of soyabeans was an additional incentive for expanding area to soyabeans.
