Economists have raised concerns about the potential impact of heatwaves on farm output and inflation. They warn that heatwaves can lead to a decrease in agricultural productivity, which may subsequently result in higher food prices and overall inflation. Perishable food items, such as vegetables, are identified as key contributors to inflation. The article also discusses the logistical challenges faced by the agricultural sector during heatwaves, the potential impact on the kharif season (monsoon crops), and the importance of water reservoir levels amidst weather extremes. These factors combined paint a worrisome picture for the agricultural economy and overall food security. It is crucial for policymakers and stakeholders to address these issues and implement measures to mitigate the adverse effects of heatwaves on the farming sector.
