#WeekendReading: Abhik et al. on the evolution of the Asian summer #monsoon through the Cenozoic era. It's mostly models (s.h., numerical experiments), but still offers an interesting set of hypotheses.

#India - Farmers devastated after 80% of key crops are wiped out — here's what happened

Story by Tina Deines, February 4, 2026

"#TomatoFarmers in one region in India are struggling after their crops were hit hard by #pests and #climatic factors.

What's happening?

"The Pioneer reported on the challenging growing season for farmers around the town of #Gaulapar in northern India, an area that is known for tomato production. According to growers there, about 80% of their cultivated tomatoes have been damaged by pests.

"The publication also lists '#ClimaticFactors' as a challenge for tomato farmers. For one, young tomato plants suffered damage in the initial phase of cultivation due to #HighTemperatures during the planting season.

Why is this crop damage concerning?

"According to the publication, the drop in tomato yields has led to surging prices at the market, affecting consumers. While some farmers are benefitting from higher prices, most are suffering due to the crop damage they've endured.

"This is yet the latest example of the struggles facing food producers worldwide and the cascading impacts they have on consumers.

"One recent study tied recent dramatic price increases in staple foods to rising global temperatures, which are leading to prolonged droughts, more severe heat waves, unpredictable precipitation patterns, and other severe weather. For instance, #Malaysians are facing soaring prices at the supermarket after a heavy #monsoon season wiped out a number of local #crops."

India’s #Fertiliser Imports to Hit Record $18 Billion
India is set to #import a record $18 billion worth of fertilisers this fiscal year, a 76% rise from last year, driven by strong #monsoon rains and higher crop sowing. In the first nine months, imports already touched $13.98 billion, with another $4 billion expected in the final quarter.

Above-normal rainfall and expanded winter crop acreage have boosted fertiliser use, pushing overall consumption up by 5%.
