India: Grain and Feed Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   IN2025-0051
The timely arrival and advance of the 2025 southwest monsoon across the country with sufficient rains during June- August have supported timely and higher sowing of most kharif (fall harvested) crops, particularly rice and corn. MY 2024/2025 rice exports have been revised lower to 23 million metric tons (MMT) as exports slowed from the second quarter of CY 2025 on competitive pricing from other South Asian origins. MY 2025/2026 corn production forecast is increased to 43 MMT on higher planting and yields due to good 2025 monsoon.
