During the peak lychee season in Dinajpur, around 150,000 women and adolescents find temporary employment in lychee orchards. From mid-May to early July, they engage in harvesting, sorting, counting, and packaging the fruit across villages in Sadar and Biral upazilas. Each orchard employs 30 to 40 workers, mostly women and teenage boys. Workers earn between Tk 300–400 daily, enabling many to save money while supporting their families. The Agricultural Extension Office reports lychee is cultivated on 5,500 hectares this year due to Dinajpur’s favorable climate and soil. While there’s no official data on total female laborers, the demand remains high due to their efficient and clean work.
