&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* After the drop in wheat production due to heat waves, extreme weather events have now cast a shadow on rice production, which is likely to drop beyond centre&amp;rsquo;s initial 6% loss estimate.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* In six years (2015-21), the country lost 33.9 million hectares of the cropped area due to floods and excess rains and 35 million hectares due to drought, which are likely to intensify as various studies predict.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Centre recently assured of developing climate-resilient varieties and district-level contingency plans to deal with the emerging climate crisis. Experts say a lot more needs to be done.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;After a difficult two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, Manjeet Singh was hopeful that 2022 would bring some cheer. A farmer from Harigarh village in Punjab&amp;rsquo;s Barnala district, Singh owns 4.04 hectares of farmland, his only source of his livelihood. But a series of extreme weather events this year led to financial losses, dampening the optimistic note he started the year with.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There was a sudden unexpected increase in temperature in March this year. This coincided with the time the wheat crop was at a maturing stage, he shares. As a result, there was a drop in production. Wheat production from Singh&amp;rsquo;s farm, in previous years, has been about 48-50 quintals per hectare. This year, his farm produced only 38 quintals per hectare &amp;ndash; a drop of about 10 quintals per hectare. This, in turn, brought down his income by Rs. 20,000 per hectare. Singh gets Rs. 2,015 per quintal as the minimum support price (MSP) set by the government.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;If this was not enough, my paddy crop, too, suffered losses due to recent rainfalls,&amp;rdquo; added Manjeet Singh. He explains, &amp;ldquo;When the crop was almost ready to harvest, there was heavy rainfall in the last week of September, followed by another two-day rain spell between October 7 and 8.&amp;rdquo; The unexpected heavy rains, he said, prolonged harvesting and increased his input cost on anti-pesticide sprays. It also reduced crop production by 7-8 quintals per hectare and with that, there was further loss of income.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* After the drop in wheat production due to heat waves, extreme weather events have now cast a shadow on rice production, which is likely to drop beyond centre&amp;rsquo;s initial 6% loss estimate.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* In six years (2015-21), the country lost 33.9 million hectares of the cropped area due to floods and excess rains and 35 million hectares due to drought, which are likely to intensify as various studies predict.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* Centre recently assured of developing climate-resilient varieties and district-level contingency plans to deal with the emerging climate crisis. Experts say a lot more needs to be done.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;After a difficult two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, Manjeet Singh was hopeful that 2022 would bring some cheer. A farmer from Harigarh village in Punjab&amp;rsquo;s Barnala district, Singh owns 4.04 hectares of farmland, his only source of his livelihood. But a series of extreme weather events this year led to financial losses, dampening the optimistic note he started the year with.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There was a sudden unexpected increase in temperature in March this year. This coincided with the time the wheat crop was at a maturing stage, he shares. As a result, there was a drop in production. Wheat production from Singh&amp;rsquo;s farm, in previous years, has been about 48-50 quintals per hectare. This year, his farm produced only 38 quintals per hectare &amp;ndash; a drop of about 10 quintals per hectare. This, in turn, brought down his income by Rs. 20,000 per hectare. Singh gets Rs. 2,015 per quintal as the minimum support price (MSP) set by the government.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;If this was not enough, my paddy crop, too, suffered losses due to recent rainfalls,&amp;rdquo; added Manjeet Singh. He explains, &amp;ldquo;When the crop was almost ready to harvest, there was heavy rainfall in the last week of September, followed by another two-day rain spell between October 7 and 8.&amp;rdquo; The unexpected heavy rains, he said, prolonged harvesting and increased his input cost on anti-pesticide sprays. It also reduced crop production by 7-8 quintals per hectare and with that, there was further loss of income.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;After a difficult two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, Manjeet Singh was hopeful that 2022 would bring some cheer. A farmer from Harigarh village in Punjab&amp;rsquo;s Barnala district, Singh owns 4.04 hectares of farmland, his only source of his livelihood. But a series of extreme weather events this year led to financial losses, dampening the optimistic note he started the year with.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There was a sudden unexpected increase in temperature in March this year. This coincided with the time the wheat crop was at a maturing stage, he shares. As a result, there was a drop in production. Wheat production from Singh&amp;rsquo;s farm, in previous years, has been about 48-50 quintals per hectare. This year, his farm produced only 38 quintals per hectare &amp;ndash; a drop of about 10 quintals per hectare. This, in turn, brought down his income by Rs. 20,000 per hectare. Singh gets Rs. 2,015 per quintal as the minimum support price (MSP) set by the government.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;If this was not enough, my paddy crop, too, suffered losses due to recent rainfalls,&amp;rdquo; added Manjeet Singh. He explains, &amp;ldquo;When the crop was almost ready to harvest, there was heavy rainfall in the last week of September, followed by another two-day rain spell between October 7 and 8.&amp;rdquo; The unexpected heavy rains, he said, prolonged harvesting and increased his input cost on anti-pesticide sprays. It also reduced crop production by 7-8 quintals per hectare and with that, there was further loss of income.&lt;/p&gt;

A year of extreme weather events has weighed heavy on India’s agricultural sector -Vivek Gupta

-India.mongabay.com * After the drop in wheat production due to heat waves, extreme weather events have now cast a shadow on rice production, which is likely to drop beyond centre’s initial 6% loss estimate. * In six years (2015-21), the country lost 33.9 million hectares of the cropped area due to floods and excess rains and 35 million hectares due to drought, which are likely to intensify as various studies predict. * Centre recently assured of developing climate-resilient varieties and district-level contingency plans to deal with the emerging climate crisis. Experts say a lot more needs to be done. After a difficult two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, Manjeet Singh was hopeful that 2022 would bring some cheer. A farmer from Harigarh village in Punjab’s Barnala district, Singh owns 4.04 hectares of farmland, his only source of his livelihood. But a series of extreme weather events this year led to financial losses, dampening the optimistic note he started the year with. There was a sudden unexpected increase in temperature in March this year. This coincided with the time the wheat crop was at a maturing stage, he shares. As a result, there was a drop in production. Wheat production from Singh’s farm, in previous years, has been about 48-50 quintals per hectare. This year, his farm produced only 38 quintals per hectare – a drop of about 10 quintals per hectare. This, in turn, brought down his income by Rs. 20,000 per hectare. Singh gets Rs. 2,015 per quintal as the minimum support price (MSP) set by the government. “If this was not enough, my paddy crop, too, suffered losses due to recent rainfalls,” added Manjeet Singh. He explains, “When the crop was almost ready to harvest, there was heavy rainfall in the last week of September, followed by another two-day rain spell between October 7 and 8.” The unexpected heavy rains, he said, prolonged harvesting and increased his input cost on anti-pesticide sprays. It also reduced crop production by 7-8 quintals per hectare and with that, there was further loss of income. Please click here to read more.
