Authorities in Chapainawabganj have decided not to impose any fixed schedule for mango harvesting this year. Farmers will be allowed to pick and market mangoes once they are fully mature. The decision was made at a meeting held on Monday afternoon at the district administration conference room, focusing on the mango calendar and the safe, chemical-free production, marketing, transport, and sale of mangoes. Officials warned that strict action would be taken against anyone found marketing immature mangoes.

The meeting was chaired by District Commissioner Abu Saleh Md Musa Jangir and attended by officials from the Department of Agricultural Extension, the Regional Horticulture Research Center, and local mango growers and traders. According to the agriculture department, mango orchards cover 37,487 hectares in the district this season, with a production target of 458,012 metric tons.

The decision aims to ensure quality mango production and maintain the district’s reputation as a leading mango-producing region in Bangladesh.
