Marudupudi Nagaraju has a three-acre mango orchard in Pomula Bheemavaram village in Andhra Pradesh. A daily wage worker of the Madiga community, this land was assigned to him around 25 years ago by the state government. It was done in a move by the state to redistribute land among the landless classes introduced under the Andhra Pradesh Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, 1973. hen Nagaraju first became a land owner he grew turmeric, but in around five years he switched to mango cultivation in the hope of better profits. “When I started [20 years ago], I would get 50- 75 kilos of mangoes from each tree,” he says. 

The trees in his farm were covered with brownish-yellow mango flowers. But it was not a happy sight for the 62-year-old farmer – he says the mango flowers have bloomed late. “The flowers should have bloomed by Sankranti [festival in mid-January], but they didn’t. They only began blooming in February,” says Nagaraju.

The mango farmer says that he has noticed flowers shrivelling up in the unseasonal heat, leading to a sharp decline in harvest. “Sometimes, a tree doesn’t even produce one box [120- 150 mangoes],” he says. “Severe thunderstorms during summer also damage the [nearly ready] fruits.”
