Record production of maize in Bangladesh

Bangladesh farmers achieved a record production of 1 million tonnes of maize by cultivating the crop on 100K hectares of land. Maize cultivation continues expanding every year, thus it is expected to decrease the import volume and increase the export volume gradually. Maize has a huge demand in local markets as it is being used as fodder of cattle-heads and poultry birds as well as in the animal husbandry, poultry and food industries sectors.
