Rainfall in maize growing regions in and near Nizamabad district of Telangana has triggered concerns about damage to the crop. Weather has been bad for last two-to-three days and rains may damage the maize crop. Maize harvesting started in Nizamabad nearly a month ago and rainfall may lead to higher moisture content in the standing as well as harvested crop. There is already a shortage of maize supply with desired moisture level of 14% and rains may further worsen the situation. Currently, average maize arrivals to Nizamabad market are 2,000 bags (1 bag = 100 kg).
