Climate change impact on moong farmers.

Moong farmers in India have sown 34.36 lakh hectares in the current kharif sowing season, and there is an increase over the previous period by 2.37 lakh hectares. But climatic conditions—lower rainfall during the growth period and heavy rainfall at the maturity period—have negatively affected the quality of moong. Cash markets (mandis) for moong are expected to trade steady as new arrival continues. Government agencies have started procurement in Karnataka and Maharashtra. As there are reports of crop damage in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, any major dip is unlikely in the near future. The Jaipur mandi may trade in the range of Rs 4,950 to Rs 5,250, depending on both quality and quantity of the crop. As new procurement is on, the release from the central pool stock would continue. It would limit uptrend.
