As winter approaches following the end of late autumn, betel leaf farmers are gearing up for cultivation. Farming continues throughout the year in Cox’s Bazar, renowned for its betel leaf production. Farmers in various villages prepare for the new planting season by arranging the leaf-growing structures, or “bor.”

These photos, capturing the setup of the “bor” in a betel leaf farm, were taken in Sonarpara village, Cox’s Bazar.
