The mango harvesting season has officially begun in Satkhira following the district administration’s fixed mango calendar. The inauguration took place on Tuesday morning, led by Acting Deputy Commissioner Bishnupad Pal. According to the agriculture department, due to favorable soil, water, and climate, mangoes in Satkhira ripen earlier than in other districts. The first phase includes harvesting of local varieties such as Gobindobhog, Gopalbhog, and Golapkhas.
Despite adverse weather earlier in the season, the agriculture office reported that yields are expected to exceed production targets. Mango cultivation covers 4,140 hectares across 5,350 orchards, with a production target of 70,380 metric tons. However, farmers and traders expressed dissatisfaction over market management, claiming that the absence of designated mango markets forces them to sell at Sultanpur Boro Bazar, where a syndicate allegedly controls prices.
Acting Deputy Commissioner Bishnupad Pal stated that regular monitoring led by executive magistrates will be conducted to break the syndicate and urged growers not to market immature mangoes for higher profit.
