Global food prices just hit a 4-year high, and India’s winter crops (wheat, chickpeas, mustard) are at risk. No, there won’t literally be ‘no winter’; but warmer, drier conditions could ruin soil moisture needed for rabi sowing. Sugar and wheat prices are already surging. If yields drop, expect higher inflation. But here’s the twist: global cereal supply is still massive; second-highest harvest ever. So while prices might climb, panic isn’t needed… yet. The real test? How India’s soil holds up this winter. Your food budget might depend on it.
