RAJSHAHI, Dec 12, 2020 (BSS) – Commercial farming of high yielding guava has been gaining popularity in the region including its vast barind tract and char (riverbed) areas of the Padma river as the farmers reap better yield and get fair market price from the cash crop.
A large number of growers have attained financial solvency by growing the fruit on their lands while Thai guava cultivation is expanding in the areas for good market price bringing a new dimension in the local economy.
As a whole, the Thai guava farming has brought a smile on the faces of grassroots farmers in the region this season.
