Abstract :
This study was carried out in Telangana's
Adilabad and Mahabubnagar districts, where 240
farmers were sampled using an ex-post facto research
design. Among the challenges faced, price fluctuations
were the most significant, with 95.83% of farmers
identifying this issue. This was attributed to the absence
of a guaranteed minimum support price, which hampers
farmers' income and limits their ability to purchase the
inputs required for adapting to climate change. To
address this, the majority (91.66%) suggested the
government implement a minimum support price.
Another prevalent issue was the need for drought-
resistant crop varieties, noted by 87.50% of farmers.
