There is also prospect of cotton cultivation through intercropping, he said.
Dr Shefali Rani Mozumder, chief cotton development officer of the CDB s Mymensingh zonal office, termed cotton an important cash crop benefitting farmers with good prices.
A farmer can produce 110 maunds to 112 maunds (one maund equals around 37 kilogrammes) of cotton per hectare of land cultivating some six hybrid varieties. Every maund is now sold for Tk 2,700.
The plant can be turned into fuel and fodder while edible oil is produced from its seeds, said the official.
Bangladesh meets 99 per cent of its requirement for the raw material for textiles and garments industry through imports as its domestic production is very low.

India’s JK Seeds provides the technology
Hyderabad-based JK Agri Genetics Ltd, an arm of the JK Organisation, is collaborating with the Bangladesh government to hold field trials of genetically-modified cotton in the neighbouring country.
“The Bangladesh government is conducting the field trials, which have been completed for the first season. The results are good. Field trials will be held for the second season this year sometime between April and November,” said Gyanendra Shukla, President and Director of JK Agri Genetics, better popularly known as JK Seeds.

Domestic cotton production may rise this year
Local cotton production is likely to increase this year thanks to rising acreage and expansion of cultivation of hybrid varieties, stakeholders said.
During the current season, farmers have sown cotton on nearly 44,450 hectares of land, said Md Akhteruzzaman, additional director of the Cotton Development Board (CDB).
Overall production is likely to be around 200,000 bales (one bale equals roughly 480 pounds) in fiscal 2020-21, he said. We did not see rainfall in the November-December period. This has brightened prospects of a good crop, he said.
Farmers produced 4 per cent higher crop year-on-year to 177,890 bales in fiscal 2019-20 from that a year ago, showed data of the CDB.
