The poultry industry has requested the Union Government to remove duties on imports of maize to bail out the farmers with the shortage of feed staring the industry. Severe drought across the country has resulted in poor flow of maize, the main feed for the poultry industry. There will be a shortfall of 4 million tonnes of maize this year. The average cropped area of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in rabi season was less than normal area.

The decrease in the intensity of rainfall during July and August 2015, resulted in moisture stress in Telangana, Karntaka and Maharastra. In these states the area under turmeric has decreased. The area in Andhra Pradesh under the crop was about 15700 ha, an increase over last year’s acreage, but well below normal sowing area of 19000 ha. In Telangana the area stood at 40000 ha about 17 per cent lower than normal sowing area.
