Mango in Rajshahi Belt: Despite good yield, growers not all smiles A drought without incessant rains or severe storms have blessed four mango-producing districts in Rajshahi division with good yields but the region's farmers are yet to see good fortune. Mango trees on 83,673 hectares of land in Natore, Naogaon, Rajshahi and Chapainawabganj are expected to yield 8.52 lakh tonnes of mangoes this year. Last year, the region's mango production was 7.76 lakh tonnes after fruit loss during storms, Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) officials said. If no major calamity occurs till mid-July, the region's mango production is likely to increase by nearly one lakh tonnes this year, said Sirajul Islam, additional director of DAE.
