The current Kharif season has seen a severe adverse impact on the cultivation of three major crops: paddy, sugarcane, and cotton, due to the El Niño phenomenon. This effect has led to an unexpected reduction in the cultivated area.
The adverse weather conditions caused by El Niño have decreased the planting of paddy, sugarcane, and cotton crops. These shifts have been observed in Kharif crops.
In contrast, the cultivation of pulses and oilseeds has increased to some extent compared to the previous year. Farmers are showing interest in planting alternative crops.
Farmers are choosing crops that can withstand lower rainfall. They are adjusting their crop choices in response to the prevailing weather conditions.
