Part 2/8:
Farmers have witnessed a significant transformation in agricultural patterns over the past two decades. Traditional practices that once dictated seasonal harvests have become unpredictable. For instance, rice farmers—who have historically harvested rice in late October—now face issues with unscheduled rain, causing substantial portions of their harvest to spoil due to mold. Instead of storing their crop for later sale, they are forced to sell damp rice to big rice mills, resulting in drastically lowered prices and financial loss.
