Malihabad, jo India ke sabse best Dussehri aam ka ghar hai, ab ek bade danger mein hai. Climate change aur farming ke badhte kharchon ne yahan ke iconic mango production ko zabardast impact kiya hai.
Yields Gireen, Kharcha Badha, Kisaan Chemical Pe Aaye
Yaar, ye unseasonal storms aur temperature ke changes na, aam ke phool aane aur फल lagne ke crucial time pe aa jate hain. Isse yields kaafi kam ho gayi hain. Kisaan bata rahe hain ki pehle jahan 500 carats per acre tak yield milti thi, ab woh 350-400 carats tak simat gayi hai. Aur bhai, expenses bhi badh gaye hain. Irrigation ke liye pehle 1-2 baar kaafi tha, ab 4-5 baar karna pad raha hai, saath mein labor aur fertilizer ka kharcha alag. Is financial pressure mein, bahut se farmers 'paclobutrazol' jaisa plant growth regulator istemal kar rahe hain. Ye chemical tree ko force karta hai ki wo timely fruit de aur alternate bearing cycle ko bypass kare. Lekin iska long-term effect tree health, soil, aur environment ke liye bahut bura hai. Ye chemical soil mein reh jata hai aur residues ka risk bhi hai.
Brand Value aur GI Status Pe Asar
Sabse badi baat, ye jo artificial tareeka hai na, ye Malihabadi Dussehri ke original taste aur aroma ko affect kar raha hai, jo iska Geographical Indication (GI) tag ka reason tha. Puraane climate aur soil ki qualities jo Dussehri ko special banati hain, wo ab chemical intervention se dilute hone ka risk hai. Agar aise hi chalta raha, toh iska premium market value aur brand value dono gir jayega.
India Ki Mango Industry Ka Bada Picture
India poore world mein sabse bada mango producer hai, lagbhag 40% global production karta hai. Lekin climate change se sabhi horticultural sectors affected hain. Uttar Pradesh India ka 34% mango produce karta hai, aur Malihabad usme se ek main region hai. Lekin itna bada producer hone ke bawajood, India apna sirf 1% se bhi kam mango export karta hai. Iske reasons mein high domestic consumption aur international standards meet karne mein difficulties hain.
Aage Ka Raasta Mushkil Hai
Agar current trends continue hue, toh Malihabad ke mango farming ka future uncertain hai. Ye chemical use karna short-term profit ke liye long-term barbaadi hai. Jabki dusre regions sustainable methods use kar rahe hain. Artificial flowering se Dussehri ki natural quality kam ho sakti hai, aur iski brand value ko nuksan ho sakta hai. Malihabad ki economy jo mango farming se judi hai, woh bahut badi disruption face kar sakti hai agar ye pressures continue rahe.
