Punjab Farmers Face Severe Crop Losses After Devastating Flood

Farmers in Punjab, India, are experiencing significant losses due to the ongoing monsoon floods. The unprecedented rainfall has inundated vast agricultural lands, causing widespread damage to crops. This is the worst flood situation in four decades, impacting farmers’ livelihoods and yields. While the exact extent of the damage is still being assessed, preliminary reports indicate substantial losses in wheat, barley, and cotton. The situation is exacerbated by existing economic challenges triggered by recent tariffs imposed by the United States, further complicating the agricultural sector’s recovery. Government support and relief efforts are underway to assist affected farmers.
