Onion seed growers in Faridpur, one of the largest onion-producing districts, expect bumper yields this year thanks to favourable weather.
Farmers have cultivated different varieties of bulbs for seeds such as Rajshahi Tahirpur, Superking, Sukhsagar, BARI-4, and Nasik King, apart from hybrid onion seeds.
Faridpur has been a major hub for onion seed production for years because of suitable weather and soil.
