Impact of COVID-19 on Farmers in Bangladesh

Farmers in Bangladesh are facing serious problems during this time of crisis. Citizens are asked by the government to stay at home to avoid being infected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of this, farmers find it difficult to go to their farms to check on their crops. Shops including those that sell fertilizer have also closed down temporarily. Farming is the sole livelihood of many farmers in the country. If they cannot farm, they face an even bigger threat that is hunger.
