Gearing Up for Resilient Kharif 2026 Season
As India approaches the Kharif 2026 season, its agricultural narrative reflects a measured evolution-from the imperatives of food security to a more refined emphasis on nutrient resilience and ecological balance. The past year reveals a supply chain growing increasingly nimble amid global uncertainty. Urea, the system's backbone, saw requirements exceed 100 LMT in Kharif 2025 and rise further to 156.80 LMT in Rabi 2025-26, supported by steady domestic output. This stability sustained productivity across key agrarian centres such as Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, even as DAP availability tightened during Kharif.

How Women Are Reshaping India's Agri Value Chain
Despite comprising nearly 80 per cent of the agricultural workforce in several Indian states, participation of women has historically been concentrated at the labour end: sowing, weeding, harvesting, often as unpaid family workers with little say in what is grown, where it is sold, or at what price. That script is now being rewritten. Across the country, a shift is underway from women as farm labour to women as agripreneurs, enterprise managers, and value-chain decision-makers. What makes this shift different from earlier empowerment narratives is that it is increasingly driven, not by welfare alone, but by institutional design, market infrastructure and technology.

How India's Climate and Farm Economy Are Rewriting the Science of Single Malt Whisky
India's single malt whisky boom is often framed through the lens of global awards, premiumisation, and export ambition. But the real story is unfolding far from tasting rooms and distillery tours. It begins in the fields, where barley, long treated as a modest winter crop, is being quietly repositioned as the foundation of a high-value, globally competitive industry.
