Can't even cover costs': Potatoes rot under open sky
In Mithlama village, located in Cumilla’s Burichang Upazila, hundreds of maunds of potatoes lie covered in tarpaulin across courtyards and high fields. Hoping for better prices, farmers have been storing the crop in open spaces for over a month. But with no proper storage and rising temperatures, much of the harvest is rotting. Farmers say they can’t even recover their production costs.
