What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A rainfall deficit in Goa is disrupting agricultural production, increasing dependence on local stocks. Market sources attribute the surge in prices for rice and onions to reduced paddy output following inadequate rainfall. This situation is causing a steep rise in essential commodity costs across the state.
