Uttar Pradesh, one of the leading rice producing states in India, is reeling, as more than half the monsoon season is over and the state has a rainfall deficit of 40 %, which has had a direct impact on paddy sowing. Other paddy growing states in the Indo-Gangetic plains have also reported deficient rainfall. How will this affect paddy production and food welfare schemes? Will there be a ripple effect on the global food supply, as India is the world's largest rice exporter? Gaon Connection tries to find answers in its new series, Paddy Pain.

First it was insufficient rainfall that hampered the sowing of paddy and now when it is ready to be harvested, heavy rainfall has caused heavy damage to the standing crops. Farmers in Uttar Pradesh find themselves in trouble.

According to the horticulture department, J&K, area under horticulture has jumped from 82,486 hectares in 1975 to 330,956 ha in 2021. The cultivation of paddy is on a decline, as farmers and experts say horticulture brings in more profits. But there is a flip side too — farmers have to buy rice from the market.

India as a whole has received 11 per cent above normal rainfall in the southwest monsoon season, so far. But Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand have received deficient rainfall. Millions of farmers in these states are bracing up for huge losses of their kharif paddy crops. Good rains are forecast in the coming few days but will that be enough? A ground report.

Half of the southwest monsoon season is almost over, and several districts in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh are still waiting for good rainfall. Paddy and pulses farmers are staring at a wilting crop. They fear a drought year ahead.
