This time, the weather is good, but the cost is hefty. In order to increase their chances of making more money during the rabi season, Rajshahi's farmers started cultivating potatoes sooner. Farmers are occupied with tasks like taking seeds out of the cold storage, preparing the ground, weeding, fertilizing, and planting potatoes on the prepared ground. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUWHJ4gxYFY4duQYCwXVLf1ZbH4sYbcKqcJpyCCbT2Dee/pexels-pixabay-144248.jpg [pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/potatoes-144248/) Potato cultivation preparations are underway in full force in each of the district's nine upazilas. Diamond, Granula, Staris, and Cardinal seed potatoes are being planted after the field has been prepared. To stop bug attacks, insecticide spraying is also in progress. Farmers, as well as professional potato growers and traders, are extremely busy. According to the District Agriculture Extension Department, Rajshahi is where more potatoes of the Cardinal, Diamond, and Asteric kinds are grown. In Rajshahi, the goal for potato farming this season has been established at 36 000 835 hectares. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZgyfbY9iXvQXVdHUxHiETKT6PytchcYrdge6kbfVKR2j/pexels-marco-antonio-victorino-2286776.jpg [pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-pile-of-potatoes-2286776/) which, in the previous year, covered 38 000 629 hectares of land. Potato farming is down from past seasons in the current 2022–2023 season. On 36 thousand 835 hectares of land, the agricultural department is moving on with its aim to grow 9 lakh 76 thousand 127 metric tons of potatoes. In other words, the stakeholders are considering whether it is feasible to grow 26.50 tons of potatoes per hectare. The agricultural department claims that farmers are shifting their attention away from potato farming and toward the growing of mustard as the cause of the decline in potato farming. A number of factors prevented the country's Department of Agriculture Extension from delivering on its promise to export potatoes abroad. Farmers raise mustard because of this. Potato prices, according to farmers, have not been fair for the past few years. Since the last two years, nevertheless, they have begun to express interest in potato farming due to the high price. Rezaul Islam, a potato farmer in Tano's Yogishah district. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYecnQTUyCT4orQ8TqD1e6XydKCpYLXxvAUQL27QGK8qJ/pexels-kristina-paukshtite-704818.jpg [pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/brown-potato-704818/) On 20 bigha of land, I grew potatoes this year. Right now, potatoes are reasonably priced. As a result, regular citizens, especially potato traders in the upazila, are also inclined to cultivate potatoes. Although there is no labor shortage, there is a seed deficit. In addition, there is no restraint on the cost of fertilizer and seeds. According to Rezaul, who has several years of potato farming experience, practically everyone can lower their rates during the entire potato growing season in the hopes of receiving favorable pricing. However, this year's potato crop will produce well. In the hopes of favorable pricing this season, Abdur Rakib, a potato farmer in Panchander Union of the same upazila, started growing potatoes. We are therefore growing potatoes on comparatively less acreage this season. In a total of 30 bighas, I'll be growing potatoes. On 25 bighas of land, I have been planting potatoes recently. Tomorrow, 30 bigha of land will be used to cultivate potatoes if 5 bighas of land are planted with potatoes. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTEShMonPtf9oeMHcrM2LsK9rmsnu5GoPGnhJ1Pmm5Uba/pexels-mark-stebnicki-2253412.jpg [pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/tractor-plowing-the-potato-field-in-close-up-2253412/) There is a shortage of potato seeds. According to Abdur Rakib, a syndicate is responsible for the current seed crisis. On a two and a half bigha plot of land he has leased, Rajpara police station resident Abdur Rahim grows potatoes. Since last Sunday, I have been getting the field ready to plant potatoes. I just begun growing potatoes. This year, there was no local labor shortage. As a result, a lot of individuals are growing potatoes with passion. We fear that this time will require additional spending due to the scarcity of potato seeds and fertilizers. The cost can be recovered if the market has such prices and yields, though.
