In Maharashtra, Latur district, a key contributor to the state's soybean acreage (10%), has achieved 90% completion in soybean sowing due to favorable rainfall and weather conditions. Sowing activity in other districts is also progressing well. However, sources indicate that a shift of 8-10% soybean acreage to competing crops like urad and tur has occurred due to lucrative prices.
