How do the monsoon seasons affect the economy of Bangladesh? Explain how monsoons can both help and hurt farming, businesses, and daily life.
Benefits:
Monsoon rains are vital for irrigating crops like rice, which is a staple food in Bangladesh. The rains help fill aquifers and replenish soil nutrients, supporting agricultural productivity.
Challenges- Excessive rainfall can lead to severe flooding, damaging crops and reducing agricultural income. For instance, in 2024, floods destroyed approximately 1.1 million metric tons of rice, leading to increased food prices and the need for imports . Such climate shocks not only lower farm income but also increase household food insecurity
- Flooding during the monsoon season can severely disrupt transportation networks, hindering the movement of goods and people. Roads and bridges may become impassable, affecting trade and commerce. Additionally, floods can damage infrastructure, leading to power outages and communication breakdowns, which further impact business operations
- Daily Life: Health Risks and Displacement
The monsoon floods often result in the displacement of communities, with millions affected annually. Access to essential services like clean water, healthcare, and education becomes limited. There is also an increased risk of waterborne diseases, such as diarrhea and skin infections, due to contaminated water sources
