Heavy rainfall in the Madhupur growing areas of Uttar Pradesh over the past four days has damaged crops, which is expected to increase the demand for green chillies from Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh in the coming days. Farmers in these states are eager to harvest green chillies, as they are currently receiving higher prices than ever. Conversely, if the demand for green chillies rises, red chilli production in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh is likely to see a significant decline.
