We can be produced anything except salt and kerosene through jhum cultivation, said Mrong chu, a farmer who is living in high hill remote area of Bandarban hill district. Eleven indigenous communities are living in the hilly lands that are dependent on nature. If the weather is vulnerable we may die, we cannot cultivate jhum, said Ang Thu khai.
