The salt fields at Shah Porir Dwip

Salt production was halted for two weeks on the island of Shah Porir Dwip off the coast of Cox’s Bazar’s Teknaf due to a Nor’wester storm in the area and other adverse weather. Now, farmers have returned to their fields and are again at work.

Farmers have started harvesting salt from the fields again after a two-week work suspension due to adverse weather conditions. Although the cost of production is high now, salt is selling for Tk 280-300 per maund in Teknaf. Photo: Jashim Mahmud
