ICAR conducting study to assess La Niña risks
★ Several foreign weather agencies have reported the return of La Niña, which typically leads to a drop in temperatures.
★ In the rabi season, wheat and pulses account for about 45% of total foodgrain production.
★ It remains to be seen what impact La Niña will have.
★ In the current kharif season, crops have already been damaged due to heavy rains. If the weather does not cooperate during the rabi season as well, it will not be favorable for agricultural output.
