13 times more onion yield likely in Rajshahi

RAJSHAHI: Thirteen times more onion yield is expected compared to demand in the district as the government has adopted time-fitting initiatives in order to boost the spicy crop production through reducing deficit.
The farmers were given fertilizer, high yielding seed and cash money on behalf of the government agriculture incentive programme.
According to the latest official date given by the local office of the Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE), a target has been set to produce 4,32,300 metric tons of onion through bringing 21,300 hectares of land under onion cultivation in three seasons of the current 2023-2024 financial year in the district.
