Overall production of red chillies in Pakistan has gone down by around 40 percent after extreme heat killed off many of the peppers before workers had a chance to harvest them from the vines
A farmer dries chilies crop to earn his living in Hyderabad city of Pakistan's Sindh province on Friday, September 23, 2011. This farm is in Kunri, Sindh province, southern Pakistan - the red chilli capital of Asia.
But extreme heat has killed off many of the peppers before workers have a chance to harvest them from the vines. "We have produced 125,000 tons of red chilli crops in 2018, and in 2019 we have produced only 70 to 80,000 tons of red chilli crops.""The government should intervene on an emergency basis and must introduce seeds that should be heat tolerant or heat resistant," he says.
"Due to climate change, weather is shifting its cycle and it causes the sudden rise of heat waves that have an impact on red chilli crops," explains Dr Muhammad Mithal Jiskani, Associate Professor, Department of Plant Pathology, Sindh Agriculture University, Tando Jam.
