BARISHAL, May 5, 2019 (BSS) – Bumper Boro paddy production is expected in

under different varieties of Boro paddy. The varieties of paddy included

of land were brought under high yielding Boro and 3,824 hectares under local

production is likely this year due to favorable atmosphere alongside ensuring
adequate irrigation facilities along with availability of other agri-inputs.
