Telangana farmers face delayed rains, falling groundwater levels, and El Niño's impact, leading to anxiety. The state advises shifting to less water-intensive crops, but many stick to traditional methods despite crop stress and low reservoirs.

The Telangana State Warehousing Corporation is addressing this by constructing new godowns, establishing cold storage facilities, and exploring e-commerce logistics to help farmers preserve produce and improve returns.
