Chilli Farming in Brahmaputra Basin: Even 15-20 years ago, the grazing areas in the Brahmaputra basin did not produce any cash crops that producers could talk about proudly. Now the sandy land has turned out a boon for farmers as they have gone for growing chillies as the first cash crop of the vast shoal area.
Syndication by market players is not the only reason for the elevated price of green chili in Bangladesh as changing weather patterns has led to reduced supply, according to experts.
Weeds and bushes have taken over the buildings, making them a safe habitat for poisonous insects. The plasters have already fallen off, revealing the inner bricks and iron rods, while doors and windows no longer exist.
