The sentence shows that it is just completed action which is related to rain, it is present perfect tense.

Hello @Avishek.

Crops want rain. So it uses (have as verb) ;

Have means like verb (not an action verb). So we must be use present perfect tenses rather than present perfect continuous tense.

I hope you understand.
