Area under rice cultivation has been declining rapidly in north Kerala district between 2004-05 and 2018-19

Wayanad in Kerala is known for its traditional rice varieties apart from the district’s unique climate and culture. Even a few decades ago, the farming community cultivated almost 75 traditional rice varieties of rice. Over the years, however, it has narrowed down to 20.

Adukkan, Veliyan, Chenellu, Chomala, Chenthadi, Thondi, Gandhakasala, Jeerakasala, Mullankaima and Kalladiaryan are some of the varieties cultivated by farmers for decades.

Farmers opt for completely organic farming practices for scented rice varieties such as Gandhakasala and Jeerakasala, in order to preserve their fragrance.

Kerala follows three rice seasons. Wayanad has two: Farmers refer to them as ‘Nanja’ (winter season) and ‘Punja’ (summer season).

Food security is closely related to crop yield; if the reduction in the yield continues, it intensifies global food crisis.
