The rainy season typically lasts from March until June, but the crop’s harvest has been hampered by the soaring conditions, which have hovered around 40 degrees Fahrenheit for months in her state, and later dryness.

” The quality of the durian wo n’t meet the standard”, she said.
And not only is she getting less wealth for the grain, Busaba’s operating prices have risen.
Since a drought in March has sucked water from the wells, Busaba is forced to transport thousands of liters by truck to keep her prized citrus trees alive.
” We have to buy 10 water trucks for 120, 000 litres of water for one- time watering the whole 10- rai ( 1.6 hectares ) of our farm”, she said, repeating the process every other day, at a cost of thousands of dollars.
” We have prayed for rainwater”, she said. ” But there was no weather”.
