The India Meteorological Department has forecast a normal monsoon for the upcoming season, bringing much-needed relief to farmers across the country. This positive prediction comes after two years of irregular rainfall patterns.
Agricultural experts expect this to boost crop production, particularly for rice, sugarcane, and cotton. The forecast indicates well-distributed rainfall across major agricultural regions including Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra.
Farmers are already preparing for the season with increased seed purchases and farm equipment bookings. The government has assured adequate supply of fertilizers and has announced additional support measures.
This development is expected to have a positive impact on food inflation and overall economic growth, as agriculture contributes significantly to India's GDP.
