Deficient monsoon rainfall has left dairy farmers in Maharashtra short of fodder and water, with drought declared in 265 of the state’s 358 talukas. Failed maize, sorghum, and Napier grass crops have reduced green-fodder availability, while sorghum straw and manufactured cattle-feed prices have risen; some farmers are selling cattle as milk yields decline.
The drought is tightening local forage supplies and raising feed costs, which may prompt herd sales and constrain milk output. These pressures are bullish for feed prices and could weigh on dairy supply.
