Telangana's agricultural area expanded by 10% compared to the previous year, according to a report by Telangana Today, despite the adverse effects of the El Niño weather phenomenon.
Telangana Today reported that the state’s cultivated area has risen by 10% in the current cropping season, a notable increase in the face of the El Niño weather pattern that typically hampers rainfall and crop growth.
The rise in cultivated acreage comes despite the reduced monsoon rains associated with El Niño, which have historically led to lower yields and limited farming activity in the region.
The report, released by Telangana’s agriculture department, highlights that farmers have managed to expand their fields, suggesting effective use of irrigation infrastructure and government support schemes.
While the overall yield figures remain to be confirmed, the 10% growth in crop area is seen as a positive indicator for Telangana’s agricultural resilience in challenging climatic conditions.
