Goa Set to Release Salt-Resistant Paddy Variety in 2026

Goa is developing a new type of rice that can handle salty water and flooding, perfect for the state's coastal areas.

It's called Goa Dhan-5 and has been tested on farms to see how well it grows.

This new rice is strong and resists falling over, a common problem in bad weather.

Farmers are already trying it out to prepare for its full release in 2026.

It's designed to grow well even in tough conditions, like areas with too much salt or heavy rains.
