Excessive rainfall during the cultivation season has caused severe damage to jute farming in Char Rajibpur of Kurigram. Farmers in the area are suffering heavy losses as their fields have been submerged, destroying large portions of their crops. Many cultivators have become disoriented and financially strained due to the widespread damage.
Local farmers described how the season began with drought, delaying seed sowing due to lack of soil moisture. When rain finally arrived, they planted jute, but heavy downpours just days later flooded the fields. In Mohanganj Union, a farmer reported that only one bigha of his five-bigha jute field survived. Another farmer in Kodalkati Union said half of his two-acre crop was destroyed after standing water caused weeds and plant death.
In Rajibpur Sadar Union, a farmer lost most of his ten-bigha jute field, with only three bighas partially surviving. The situation is reported to be similar across the entire upazila, leaving the region’s jute cultivation in crisis.
