Lower paddy acreage: How will it affect India and the world? -Akash Podishetty

A victim of supply chain disruption is food. Even as the world looks towards India to fill the void created by the Russia-Ukraine war, a drop in paddy acreage is threatening to make the matter worse

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and amid challenges for global food supply, PM Narendra Modi declared that India was capable of "feeding the world". However, instead of feeding the world, the govt soon restricted wheat exports, citing a threat to food security.

Now, there are concerns about the outlook of rice production going forward.

The area planted under the rice crop in the country is down this year. In the week ended August 18, paddy acreage in the country was down 8.25 per cent over the same period last year. Paddy is the most important crop during the Kharif season, and over 80 per cent of India’s total rice production is done during this season.

The lower paddy acreage is attributed to the erratic monsoon. Rice cultivation usually requires large amounts of water, and farmers in states without adequate irrigation facilities depend heavily on the monsoon.

According to the IMD, rainfall is deficient in major rice-producing states

This is reflected in the shrinking paddy acreage in these states. It is down by almost 340,000 hectares in Bihar, 1.14 million hectares in Jharkhand, 630,000 hectares in West Bengal, and 270,000 hectares in Uttar Pradesh.
