Rains and floods wreak havoc in Balochistan, costing date farmers a staggering Rs. 2 billion

Description:

Dates are a crop that may be destroyed by rain, and this year"s severe rains and flooding in Balochistan"s Makran region have wreaked havoc on the fruit, causing farmers to suffer losses of Rs. 2 billion.

According to the Express Tribune, cloudbursts completely destroyed the date crops in Panjgur, Turbat, and other areas of the semi-desert coastal strip of Makran.

This year"s pre-monsoon rainfall have been particularly hard on the date palm farms, endangering the Balochistan harvest. Since the first week of July, farms have been heavily inundated by rain from the pre-monsoon rains, severely harming date bunches that were still growing in the trees. Both the most well-known Panjgur date, Moonzawati, and Rabyee, another succulent and delectable Panjgur date, were decimated.

The province"s producers and farmers suffered significant financial losses as a result of flooding and rain. Producers who are worried indicated that if the rain stops and the sun shines on the fields, some of the fruit might survive intact.

In addition, standing crop on more than 200,000 acres of land in various Balochistan regions have been devastated by floods, according to data provided by the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA). In Pishin, Killa Abdullah, Killa Saifullah, Barkhan, Kohlu, Khuzdar, and other provincial districts, excessive rains during the season have also devastated grapes, tomatoes, and other fruits and vegetables.

The provincial government has so far instructed each deputy commissioner in the flood-affected areas to assess the damage and give a thorough report on the state of all the crops on a priority basis.
