Rangabali resident Mohammad Hridoy achieves success in maize farming
Md. Hridoy, a resident of Molla Kanda village in Moudubi union of Rangabali upazila of Patuakhali district, is currently a successful and active maize farmer under the Pradripta project. With the aim of livelihood development and using modern agricultural methods, he started maize farming on 1 bigha of land.
Under the Pradripta project implemented by JAGO NARI and managed with the technical assistance of CARE Bangladesh, he received training on income-generating technologies. He also received various inputs required for farming. From the project, he received hybrid sultan seeds, urea, TSP, MOP, gypsum, zinc sulphate, vermicompost, pesticides and a display signboard.
Following the modern methods taught in the training, he prepares the land, applies fertilizers at the right time and maintains it regularly. So far, he has spent about 4,000 taka on his maize farming.
Currently, the maize yield on his land is in very good condition and he expects to produce about 25-26 maunds of maize. This success will benefit him economically and play a significant role in increasing his family’s income.
This initiative by Md. Hridoy proves that rural farmers can also become self-sufficient through modern agriculture if they get the right training, technology and support.
