Chilli Farming in Brahmaputra Basin: Even 15-20 years ago, the grazing areas in the Brahmaputra basin did not produce any cash crops that producers could talk about proudly. Now the sandy land has turned out a boon for farmers as they have gone for growing chillies as the first cash crop of the vast shoal area.
Bangladesh has achieved incredible success in the agriculture sector, with the industry playing an important role in food production as well as ensuring sustainable food security, employment and export trade, according to Zakir Hossain, state minister for primary and mass education.
