The article discusses the devastating impact of the BNP-Jamaat government's misrule and corruption on farmers during Khaleda Zia's tenure as prime minister from 2001 to 2006. The power crisis and the BNP leaders' involvement in a fertilizer scandal led to a decrease in food grain production, forcing many small farmers to abandon cultivation and migrate in search of food and work. Reports reveal that BNP leaders created a crisis in the market, hoarded fertilizers, produced counterfeit fertilizers, and sold them at exorbitant prices to a select few wealthy farmers. As a consequence, fertilizer became unaffordable for most ordinary farmers. The article further details the damage caused to boro crops in the Barendra region and the 50% drop in crop production in 2006 due to fertilizer shortage.
