# India's Telangana has a green-fodder deficit of nearly 62%

> Two Indian research institutes estimate Telangana's annual green-fodder supply at about 2.38 million tonnes against a requirement of about 6.37 million tonnes. Super El Niño drought, heat and water stress have hit the state's dairy sector, and dry-fodder prices in some areas have risen from about 80 to nearly 240 rupees per bundle. The state still has a dry-fodder surplus, mainly from rice and maize residues.

## Why it matters

Green-fodder shortfalls push dairy farms toward bought-in feed and concentrates, which lifts feed demand and costs. The impact on global grain and hay prices is limited because the deficit is regional and dry residues remain in surplus.
