Farmers expand oilseed production as import costs rise
Bangladesh’s expenditure on importing edible oil and oilseeds is increasing to meet growing demand for cooking oil for growing population and income.
Onion seeds may get expensive for low yield
Onion seeds are often referred to as “black gold” by farmers in the Rajshahi region due to their dark shade and high market value. This stands true for the fact that when planting ran from October to early December last year, the seeds were sold at an average of Tk 5,000 per maund in the district, some 250 kilometres west of the capital.

Farmers need to be motivated and given necessary tools on time
Coloured cauliflower showing bright prospects
For the first time in Bangladesh, the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) has succeeded in growing coloured cauliflower on an experimental basis.
Vegetable exports dip to 6-year low
Bangladesh’s earnings from vegetable exports dipped to six-year low in the July-October period of the current fiscal year as high air-freight rates and increased prices eroded the competitiveness of fresh produce.
