The three cyclones affected standing crops in certain areas and also led to drop in yields. Rabi sowings registered an increase of 5.4 % and should translate into an increased foodgrain and pulses production. The good rainfall during these months have increased soil moisture content which should augur well going forward into the Rabi season.
