A bumper peanut harvest has been reported this season on the sandbars of the Jamuna River in Madarganj upazila of Jamalpur. Farmers are pleased with both the high yield and favorable market prices, which have brought economic relief to many poor families in the riverine areas. The Department of Agricultural Extension confirmed that peanuts were cultivated on 30 hectares of land this season, exceeding the initial target of 10 hectares.
In addition to peanuts, farmers have grown onions, maize, black cumin, and chili across hundreds of hectares, along with other crops such as wheat, peas, sweet gourd, sweet potato, and sunflower. The low production cost and good yields have encouraged more farmers to take up cultivation. Agricultural officers are providing technical support and incentives to expand farming in the char areas.
According to the upazila agriculture officer, favorable weather conditions have contributed to the strong harvest, with an estimated 80 to 90 metric tons of peanuts expected to be produced this season.
