Paddy prices severely affected by fall in Aman production

A farmer plants seasonal paddy while standing in knee deep water at the Jhilwanja area in Cox’s Bazar. This year’s record-low rainfall and extreme hot weather made it challenging for farmers to grow the seasonal paddy, which depends on monsoon rains for a profitable harvest season. According to the meteorological department, the amount of rainfall shrunk by 47% nationwide and by 58% in the Chattogram Division in August. The photo was taken recently. Photo: Mumit M
