90 pc haor paddy harvested: Minister
Agriculture Minister Dr Abdur Razzaque on Tuesday said farmers have harvested 90 percent of Boro paddy in haor areas and 25 percent across the country.
“The rest 10 percent Boro paddy in haor areas will be harvested within a week. Besides, the harvesting of paddy in the haor areas is being delayed due to the cultivation of BRRI-29 variety paddy,” he said while exchanging views with reporters online over the progress of the harvesting paddy across the country.
He hoped that the Boro paddy will be harvested within the month of June.
Some 4,45,399 hectares of land in the haor areas (Kishoreganj, Netrakona, Sunamganj, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Sylhet, Brahmanbaria) have been brought under boro cultivation and of those, paddy from 90.02 percent of the land was harvested until Monday, he said.
