Farmers in Odisha, India, defy law to cultivate cannabis for higher income

Credited from: ALJAZEERA

  • Farmers in Odisha, India, are cultivating cannabis despite it being illegal, driven by the need for higher income.
  • Many farmers, like Ajay Rout, report earnings of 500,000 rupees from cannabis compared to just 30,000 rupees from traditional crops.
  • Authorities have intensified efforts to disrupt the illegal trade, seizing over 600 tonnes of cannabis in recent years.
  • The situation illustrates a complex economic dynamic where rising incomes from cannabis lead to lifestyle changes.
  • Some farmers are shifting back to traditional crops, like millet, due to increased police presence and risk of arrest.
