Farmers and agriculturists in the six south-western districts of Khulna division in Bangladesh are expecting a bumper mustard production in the current season. The total land cultivation for mustard has increased every year, covering 52,383 hectares this year. The Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) attributes this increase to favourable weather conditions, adequate supply of seeds, fertilisers, and pesticides. The districts with the most mustard cultivation are Jashore, Jhenaidah, and Magura. Farmers are planting high yielding mustard varieties, which has become more profitable than many other crops.
