The Northeast Monsoon is crucial for agriculture in South India, particularly for the cultivation of rabi crops. Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh rely on this rainfall for sowing Samba rice and winter pulses. Maize is extensively grown in Telangana and Karnataka, while seed spices like coriander and fenugreek are sown in October and November. Plantation crops such as coffee, tea, and rubber in Kerala and Karnataka also benefit from this monsoon.
