NEW DELHI Reuters - Monsoon is likely to enter India through the southern Kerala coast on May 31, the weather office said on Friday, marking the start of the four-month rainy season that is forecast to be normal this year, possibly boosting the farm sector. Monsoon starts over Kerala and covers the rest of India and neighbouring countries by mid-July.

A normal monsoon means the country receives rainfall between percent of a year average of 89 centimetres during the four-month rainy season.

A poor monsoon in forced India, a top consumer and producer of a range of agricultural commodities from sugar to wheat to vegetable oils, to turn to international markets to make up shortfalls in its own output. The South Asia Climate Outlook Forum meeting in Pune said the La Nina weather phenomenon, which brings rain to the subcontinent, would continue until the June start of the Indian monsoon. Bad rainfall also results in political pressure on the government, as farmers demand higher rates for their produce and ask bureaucrats to waive loan repayment and electricity charges, impacting public finances.

Higher agricultural supplies triggered by normal rains could encourage the Indian government to allow overseas sale of wheat and lift export curbs on rice. India faces a storage problem as the wheat harvest is set to be a record, exceeding demand for a fifth straight year. Earlier, sources attending the Pune meeting said rice and soybean growing areas of southern and central India could receive above-normal to normal monsoon rains in , but cane and corn growing areas could see below-normal rainfall.
