Betel leaf farmers in Haimchar and Faridganj upazilas are facing significant losses due to climate change, severe cold, and dense fog, causing the betel leaves to turn yellowish and vulnerable to fungus. This condition is affecting the quality of the betel leaves, resulting in lower prices in the open wholesale markets. The coronavirus pandemic has further reduced the export of betel leaves. The farmers, predominantly in Haimchar upazila, are growing this crop on 220 hectares of land in Haimchar and 60 hectares in Faridganj upazila. Authorities are providing advice to prevent fungus and other diseases, but cannot control the weather conditions. The losses are estimated to be around Tk 190 million (19 crore) in the fiscal years 2019-20 and 2020-21 due to natural calamities and extreme weather conditions.
