Description:
In Bangladesh Maize is being cultivated for a long time, but still it is a minor crop. Previously sporadic attempts were made to accelerate maize production. During the last 10 years maize has gained an increasingly important attention by the government. This is due to huge demand of maize in poultry feed industry. This years market price for maize is quite good. However, farmers are not much benefited from this as most of the benefits go into the pockets of cold storage owners. Gaibandha, Bangladesh.
