Telangana farmers shift to horticulture as heat threatens Yasangi crop yields

Telangana farmers continue prioritizing vegetables and spices over paddy for the 2026 Yasangi season. Horticulture Department Director Shaik Yasmeen Basha warns that extreme heat could reduce total produce by approximately 20 percent. This potential supply decline is expected to drive up market demand for horticultural goods across the state in the coming months.
