Chapainawabganj,
Aug 3 (UNB) – Aman output in the district is unlikely to achieve the
target this season, as there was no sufficient rainfall during the
peak period of cultivation.
Agriculture
officials said a scheme was taken up to bring some 46,000 hectares of
land under aman farming with a production target of 97,720 mts in
Sadar, Shibganj, Gomostapur, Nachol and Bholahat upazilas.
But
most farmers, particularly the marginal ones, could not cultivate
their lands in time for lack of rainwater, delaying the sowing of aman
seeds.
So
far, 9,045 hectares of land have been brought under aman farming in
the district.
