However, deficient rainfall in the paddy growing states in the Indo-Gangetic Plains has raised an alarm with fears of the Union government restricting rice exports.

For farmers who have sown wheat across India’s northern plains, this year’s unusually high temperatures in February are a haunting reminder of last year’s damage to their crops. Similar heat waves last year had compromised India’s wheat production by 2.75 million tonnes or 2.5 per cent of the total output during 2020-21.

Deficient monsoon rainfall has affected millions of farmers across 65 districts in Uttar Pradesh. While they are demanding an official declaration of drought, farmers from at least 18 other districts in the state were hit by floods leading to further crop losses. The state government has announced a drought survey and also flood relief. But farmers say it is too little, too late.

At a time they are usually scrambling from floods, Bihar’s farmers are facing a drought. Urban India can probably not comprehend the annual crises for the farmer in Bihar, now normalised in India’s monsoon headlines.
