Aman yield surpasses target in Narsingdi

NARSINGDI, Dec 04 (BSS): Favourable weather throughout the season has resulted Narsingdi farmers achieve a higher-than-targeted yield of transplanted Aman paddy this year. Growers across the district are reporting bumper production with improved grain quality. Farmers in Radhanagar, Lochanpur and the char areas of Belabo in Raipura and Monohardi upazilas were seen busy harvesting and threshing their fields. While many are using combine harvesters to speed up the process, around 80 to 85 per cent still prefer hand-cutting with sickles to preserve straw quality.
