Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE) is expecting a bumper production of Boro in the Sylhet haor area this year and hopes that farmers will collect 30,000 tonnes of paddy more than this year s target.
Farmers have already harvested 97 percent of Boro in the haor area due to favourable weather, and after full harvest, it will cross the target, the department said.
There is a very slim chance that flood can hamper production, but hailstorm is still a threat, said Deputy Director of DAE, Moulvibazar, Kazi Lutful Bari.
