Telangana farmers’ preference for veggies, spices over paddy continues in Yasangi 2026
Telangana’s Yasangi 2026 event shows farmers increasingly opting to grow vegetables and spices rather than rice. The state’s horticulture department warns that rising temperatures over the next few months could cut horticultural yields by about 20 percent, which may boost market demand for these crops, according to director Shaik Yasmeen Basha. Farmers cite better profitability and climate resilience as reasons.
