Sohrab, a lychee farmer from Dinajpur, said he had had a good harvest this year. However, just as the lychees started to ripen, severe heatwaves and continuous rain damaged the fruits. As a result, farmers had to pick the fruit early to avoid financial losses. Photo: Morshedur Rahman

An early harvest and sale of lychee has added to the profits of farmers, but has detracted from the taste of the fruit. Some lychees yet to ripen are traded at the Kalitora Fruit Market in Dinajpur. Photo: Morshedur Rahman
