Several areas of Taraganj upazila in Rangpur have been inundated following days of heavy rain and a nor'wester, submerging farmlands and damaging crops including vegetables, Boro paddy, and maize. The flooding has led to widespread crop loss and a sharp rise in summer vegetable prices, causing hardship for both farmers and consumers.
Farmers reported root rot in vegetable plants due to stagnant water, threatening reduced yields. Market prices have surged, with pointed gourd, bitter gourd, and other vegetables selling between Tk 60 and Tk 100 per kilogram. Local farmers described severe losses, noting that many plants have died and harvests have declined. Vendors said wholesale prices have tripled compared to normal times.
According to the upazila agriculture officer, prolonged rainfall has caused waterlogging in many fields, leading to plant decay and crop death. Field officers are advising farmers to drain water quickly, harvest ripe paddy, and store it safely to minimize further losses.
