El Niño impacts India’s crops
India is facing its weakest monsoon season since 2009 due to the impact of the El Niño phenomenon, with rainfall expected to be about 15% below the long-term average. This shortage of rain could lead to a decline in summer crop production such as cotton, soybeans, and maize, as well as reduce soil moisture for winter crops, particularly wheat. September, the critical month for crop ripening, is projected to be among the most severely affected months, with the monsoon season potentially ending early before its usual time. The phenomenon, which influences global weather patterns, increases the risk of drought, threatening agricultural output and driving up food prices across the country.
