While Punjab looks to rescue its cotton farmers, a dozen suicides are reported from MP due the failure of a crop that once brought unprecedented prosperity to its farming community.

Hailed three decades ago as a miracle crop that brought about unprecedented prosperity to millions of Madhya Pradesh farmers, soyabean has turned into a fatal cause of agrarian distress in the state. Over a dozen debt-ridden farmers have either committed suicide or died due to shock in the last one week alone because of extensive damage to their crops.

There are reports of the crop being destroyed in 26 out of 51 soyabean  growing districts of the state –  due to scanty rains, in 11, attack of yellow or white mosaic in 12 and excessive rain in three districts.

The government estimates the damage from 35% to 40%, though local newspapers have projected the damage up to 70%, quoting farmers from across the state.
