A target has been set to cultivate potatoes on 34,660 hectares of land in Munshiganj, one of the country's major potato-producing districts. According to the Department of Agricultural Extension, the target remains the same as last season, including 9,581 hectares in Sadar, 9,070 hectares in Tongibari, 3,109 hectares in Louhajang, 8,958 hectares in Sirajdikhan, 1,998 hectares in Gajaria, and 1,944 hectares in Sreenagar.
Although potato is the main cash crop and farmers mostly grow Diamond potatoes due to high yield, lower durability has led many to show interest in cultivating mustard, black cumin, carrots, coriander, beans, and tomatoes this season.
Meanwhile, the district administration remains strict regarding the supply of potato seeds and fertilizers. In a recent meeting with local traders, the Deputy Commissioner warned against selling seeds and fertilizers above government-fixed prices or creating artificial crises.
