💨 Abstract

India is facing a potential threat to winter-sown crops such as wheat, chickpea, and rapeseed due to above-average temperatures forecasted for March, following a warmer February. The weather office predicts both maximum and minimum temperatures will be higher in most regions. This could cut yields for the fourth consecutive year, reduce overall wheat production, and potentially force the government to lower or remove the 40% import tax to import wheat.
