Agricultural production in India is currently struggling due to a lack of rain and a late monsoon. This has led to smaller planting areas and a higher reliance on underground water sources.

由於降雨不足及季風延遲，印度目前的農業生產面臨困難。這導致種植面積縮小，且對地下水源的依賴程度增加。

The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare reports that the total area for kharif crops fell by 22.7% by June 25. Specifically, oilseeds and cotton saw the biggest drops, while paddy cultivation decreased by about 25%. These problems were caused by a 45% rainfall deficit in June and low reservoir levels, which are currently at only 26.4% of their capacity.

農業與農民福利部報告指出，截至 6 月 25 日，Kharif 作物的總面積下降了 22.7%。其中油籽和棉花的降幅最大，而稻米種植則減少了約 25%。這些問題是由於 6 月份降雨量不足 45% 以及水庫水位低所導致，目前水位僅為容量的 26.4%。

In Haryana, the India Meteorological Department noted a 21% lack of rain in June. Consequently, about 70% of the planned paddy fields have not been planted. To solve this, officials have suggested switching to crops that need less water, such as cotton. However, the delay in planting may lower crop yields because the seedlings are becoming too old. Furthermore, other crops like bajra and pulses are expected to suffer in southern and western areas.

在哈ListNode邦，印度氣象局 noted 6 月份降雨量不足 21%。因此，約 70% 的計劃稻田尚未種植。為了改善此情況，官員建議改種需水量較少的作物，例如棉花。然而，種植延遲可能會降低作物產量，因為秧苗已過老。此外，南部和西部地區的小米及豆類等其他作物預計也將受到影響。

At the same time, efforts to protect groundwater in Punjab have faced challenges. In Ludhiana, many farmers continue to grow summer maize despite warnings from the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU). Experts emphasized that farmers prefer summer maize because it grows quickly and is useful for animal feed. However, this crop requires 12 to 15 rounds of irrigation, which puts severe pressure on the region's declining water levels.

與此同時，旁遮普邦保護地下水的努力面臨挑戰。在盧底亞納，儘管旁遮普農業大學 (PAU) 發出警告，許多農民仍繼續種植夏季玉米。專家強調，農民偏好夏季玉米是因為其生長快速且可用作動物飼料。然而，這種作物需要 12 至 15 次灌溉，對該地區不斷下降的水位造成嚴重壓力。

The farming sector remains at risk due to the lack of rain. If the monsoon does not improve, it could lead to lower food production and reduced income for rural families.

由於降雨不足，農業部門仍處於風險之中。如果季風情況未獲改善，可能會導致糧食產量下降，並減少農村家庭的收入。
