Why farmers in India are worried despite ‘average’ monsoon rains
Al JazeeraWhile average monsoon rains are ordinarily good for the farmers, uneven distribution this year has created new worries. India has received average monsoon rains since the start of the season on June 1, despite concerns that an El Nino weather pattern could lead to lower rainfall this year. While average monsoon rains are ordinarily good for Indian farmers, uneven distribution this year has created new worries. Heavy rainfall has damaged newly planted rice crops in the northern states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, and many farmers may have to replant. On the other hand, scant rainfall has delayed the planting of rice, corn, cotton, soybeans, groundnuts and pulses in states including Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and West Bengal.
