Rice Production in Bangladesh
Coming Soon, In-Sha-Allah
A local variety can make the wonderful job in rice production
in Bangladesh. Since long, the variety has been cultivated in Habiganj of Sylhet in Bangladesh. This rice variety is basically suitable for cultivation during Aman season. The
production of this variety may exceed 40 mounds per bigha or 12 tons per
hectare. The plant height can go beyond 6 ft which can help in production of
this variety in beel, jheel, haaor and other inundated areas in Bangladesh.
A part of the rice field can be seen; initially only one tiny rice seedling was transplanted in each hill. Now, you will find around 80-100 tillers in one bunch.
The existing hybrid or high yielding varieties are of normally
short height. But, the long and elongated growing quality of this variety can
help in rearing and extension of livestock farming with its hay as roughage (or dry fodder) for nourishing the cows and buffalo at farmers premises.
Do not confuse this with a sugarcane field. This is the same rice field showing one side of the row.
As this variety grows in Aman season - therefore, it can help in releasing and make freedom of a significant portion of the rice field in Boro season for cultivation of other Rabi crop like pulses, vegetables, and oil seeds in Bangladesh.

Further, it can take the special advantage of free water falling from
the sky during the rainy season and Bangladesh can save a significant amount of
foreign currency for running the engine driven shallow irrigation tube wells
all over the country. Simultaneously, the country will be saved from disturbing the natural ecological balance by over
utilization of sub-surface water.
