Ample rice supply, yet soaring prices!
The rice market has been unstable for quite some time. Before the national elections, the prices had slightly decreased, but after the elections, rice prices are on the rise again. Currently, coarse varieties like Swarna and China are being sold at Tk 54 to Tk 56 per kilogram. The medium-grade Brridhan-29 is available at prices ranging from 58 to 60 Taka per kilogram. The popular Miniket rice, known for its small grains, is being sold at Tk 70 to Tk 75 per kilogram. In contrast, in the Nazirshail market, Miniket rice is being sold at a higher price, ranging from 70 to 80 Taka per kilogram. Aromatic varieties such as Kataribhog and other scented rice have even higher prices.
Silent Revolution in Agriculture
The English equivalent of the Bengali word "Krishi" is "agriculture." The word is derived from the Latin words azero and cultura. Its literal meaning is tillage while the Bengali word is agriculture. According to the literal meaning, the cultivation of crops and tree planting are directly included in agricultural activities. Animal husbandry and fish farming are closely related to this. Therefore, by agriculture sector we understand crops, fisheries, forestry and livestock sub-sectors together.
