Monsoon: Continued vigilance is needed

Hindustan Times  

The India Meteorological Department announced on Saturday that the southwest monsoon had covered the entire country, nearly a week ahead of schedule. PREMIUM The southwest monsoon, which carries the bulk of the rainfall for the country, is not just the mainstay of agriculture, but also the economy. One, adequate rainfall is crucial to ensure a good yield of the kharif crop, especially paddy, to cool food prices and stabilise India’s food security programme. And three, at a time when global food prices are at a lifetime high due to the in Ukraine conflict, the vagaries of the Indian monsoon could have global ramifications, pushing up prices further.
