This year the cattle farmers are in trouble as the coronavirus has become an epidemic in the district. The marginal farmers are fearing that they may not get fair price of their cattle as the price of each cattle is decreasing day by day amid Covid-19 pandemic situation.
Officer of Khulna District Livestock S M Awal Haque said most of the sacrificial animals from different farms of the district have been kept ready for sale in the market. But due to the current situation of the country, the farmers are in a lot of danger.
“We are talking with other government departments to create an online or virtual cattle market to sell sacrificial animals”, he said.
