Asharikandi Farmers Boost Incomes via Mustard Cultivation

In a village called Asharikandi near Gauripur, some farmers are growing mustard seeds to make more money.

They plant the seeds in October and November and harvest them in March.

They use special plant food to help the mustard grow better.

Each farmer grows mustard on different sizes of land, from 1.5 bighas to 5 bighas.

They sell the mustard seeds for Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,200 per maund and earn between Rs 3,500 to Rs 8,500 from their land.

However, they haven't received any help from the government to improve their farming.

They want the government to help them grow more mustard and sell it for better prices.
