WorldDrought Devastates Soybean Crops in Marathwada's Latur, Beed, Dharashiv
Despite green fields visible from above, the El Niño-induced drought has severely damaged crops in Marathwada's Latur, Beed, and Dharashiv districts. The Kharif harvest is turning into a loss, with soybean—the main crop—completely destroyed. Farmers hope for the Rabi season but face uncertainty over water availability. These three drought-hit districts cover nearly 25,400 sq km, larger than some small European countries.
