A prolonged period of hot weather is impacting padi farmers in Lambor Kanan, Perak, hindering the start of their second cultivation season. Over 400 hectares of padi crops have been affected, leading to potential losses for local farmers. The heat has created conditions unsuitable for planting, disrupting scheduled operations for this month. Farmers are currently unable to proceed with the second season as planned due to the unfavourable conditions. Damage to irrigation pumps, potentially exacerbated by the hot weather, is also contributing to the problem. The situation highlights the vulnerability of agriculture to climate change and extreme weather events. This disruption poses a threat to local food production and farmer livelihoods in the region.
