ABSTRACT: COVID-19 pandemic affected human lives as well as economy worldwide. Mango production has been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has created difficulties for growers, markets, supply chains, and consumer behavior globally. The study was carried out to assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on cultivation of BARI Aam-3 by the growers of Porsha upazila under Naogaon district and Nachole upazila under Chapainawabganj district. Data were collected from 111 BARI Aam-3 growers. Descriptive statistics were used for data analyses. Majority of the respondents were middle aged, literate, belonged small household, had medium to large farm, medium annual income, had moderate knowledge on mango cultivation and some kind of off farm activities. Highest percentage of them had high training experience, medium extension contact, medium organizational membership, medium cosmopoliteness, low to medium innovativeness, medium farming experience, access to credit and available irrigation water. More than one-fourths (27.0%) of the respondents were very highly affected in getting market price. The highest portion of the respondents suggested about incentive, subsidies, inputs, laborer and marketing support and credit at reduced rate of interest.
