India’s mango industry faces most devastating crop loss in 50 years because of extreme weather

由于极端天气，印度芒果产业面临50年来最严重的歉收

India, the world's main mango producer, is bracing for a devastating crop loss in 2022 as farmers report a delayed harvest of the “king of fruits” because of heatwaves and unseasonal rains. Climate change is being blamed for damaging the mango harvest, with fruit falling to the ground early or trees infested with pests. The mango harvest this year in Uttar Pradesh, one of India’s main producing regions, is now expected to be less than half of the usual 4-5 million tonnes.

印度是世界上主要的芒果产国，2022年面临严重歉收。农民们报告称，由于热浪和不合季节的降雨，这种“水果之王”将延迟采收。气候变化被认为是破坏芒果收成的罪魁祸首，芒果果实过早落地，树上害虫成灾。北方邦是印度主要的芒果产区之一，今年的芒果产量预计将低于通常400- 500万吨的一半。

Coming from the Bangladesh, this is honestly one of the biggest if not the biggest issue that countries such as ours (India, Bangladesh and many others) are facing right now. Among widespread poverty, lack of stability brought by the pandemic now we face this threat of climate crisis already felt most especially in the global south. It's dry season here right now and we just had a typhoon weeks ago. It's not supposed to happen but it did. The heat is getting unbearable even at night when it's supposed to be cooler. Just goes to show how much we effed up the planet. We can always do better. Now is the time for stronger actions against climate crisis.

我来自孟加拉国，老实说，这是我们(印度、孟加拉国和许多其他国家)目前面临的最大问题之一。

在疫情带来的普遍贫困和不稳定之际，我们现在面临着气候危机的威胁，这种威胁在全球南方尤其明显。

现在是旱季，几周前我们刚经历了一场台风。本不该发生的，但还是发生了。

即使在本应凉爽一些的夜晚，酷热也越来越令人难以忍受。

这只能说明我们对地球造成了多大的伤害。

我们总能做得更好，现在是时候采取更有力行动应对气候危机了。

那是因为3天前，来了一场强风暴，时候不对，6月和7月预计将面临风暴，那个时候芒果熟了，进入市场。但意想不到的风暴、热浪和降雨正在带来麻烦

It is sad. Mango is considered the king of fruits. It takes several years to grow mango trees until they start bearing fruits.

难过。芒果被认为是水果之王。芒果树需要几年的时间才能开花结果。

we need to increase carbon tax, especially in developed countries. That tax needs to be spent on environmental protection and renewable energy technology research!

我们应该提高碳排放税，尤其是在发达国家。

这些税款应该花在环境保护和可再生能源技术的研究上

You can still eat it if it’s green. Just make a spicy dip sauce.

This is just mango, what about wheat and rice? UN experts estimated India would lose half of its current food production by 2030 due to climate change, 10 years ago. India would soon be the most populous country on earth soon?

只是芒果，那小麦和大米呢？

联合国专家10年前估计，到2030年，由于气候变化，印度的粮食产量将降到目前的一半。

印度很快将成为世界上人口最多的国家?
