Early advancement of above-normal Southwest monsoon should bode well for kharif sowing, M&M President - Farm Equipment Business Veejay Nakra said.

"Approval of hike in MSP for Paddy and other kharif crops will bring positive sentiments among farmers. Better reservoir levels, government announcement of record foodgrain production and introduction of various schemes will help farmers aim higher productivity going forward and in turn augur well for tractor demand," he added.
