Kharif sowings have failed to take off in 13 districts of Andhra Pradesh, three weeks into the season.

Most of the districts reported scanty rainfall as monsoon does not show up. No crop registered more than 25 per cent of sowings. Only 7 per cent of 42 lakh hectares of agriculture land reported showings.

The situation in the neighbouring Telangana too is no different.
