A Kashmiri farmer carries paddy saplings before sowing in a paddy field during sowing season on June 13, 2016 in Kangan, about 44 kilometers (28 miles) northeast of Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian administered Kashmir, India. Agricultural land is fast disappearing from Kashmir due to rapid urbanisation and experts fear that if the process goes unchecked for a few more years, it could pose a serious threat to the agriculture sector in the Himalayan region.

Indian labourers unload sacks of onions from a truck at a wholesale vegetable and fruit market on the outskirts of Amritsar on June 16, 2016. India's consumer prices rose faster than expected in May due to higher food costs, official figures showed, which will likely lead the central bank to hold off lowering interest rates. The inflation rate increased to 5.76 percent from a year earlier, substantially higher than the 4.8 percent recorded in March and 5.4 percent in April, reported the statistics ministry.

The districts around Dhaka meet a large chunk of the demand for season vegetables in the capital. Some farmers even harvest crops three times in just one winter season to keep up with the ever increasing demand. Beans, tomato, spinach, beet, turnip, radish, carrot, cauliflower, cabbage, cucumber, gourd, snake gourd, ladies' finger, potato, green peas and pumpkin are grown. They are then shipped to local markets from where wholesalers ship them to the capital. The consumers buy them from kitchen markets as well as in chain stores. They pay a lot to buy the vegetables. The people who actually grow them do not even get half the price of what consumers pay at shops. Photos were taken from Narsingdi Bangladesh districts on June 16.
