Subsidy will be provided to make jute self-sufficient: Dr. Md. Abdur Razzak, Agriculture Minister of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Agriculture Minister Dr Md Abdur Razzak MP said that self-sufficiency should be achieved for jute seeds instead of depending on foreign countries The main problem of jute seed production in the country is that farmers do not want to cultivate as it is less profitable than other crops Incentives or subsidies will be provided to interest farmers in jute seeds and so that farmers can benefit from cultivation.
In addition, "an integrated project" is being undertaken to become self-sufficient in jute seed production.

The agriculture minister said this at a virtual meeting on Thursday (April 29) to review the progress of achieving self-sufficiency in jute seeds, moderated by Md Mesbahul Islam, senior secretary of the Bangladesh Ministry of Agriculture Md Mahbubul Islam, additional secretary (Fertilizer Management and Materials) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Md Ruhul Amin Talukder, additional secretary (PPC), Hasanuzzaman Kallol, additional secretary (Extension), and Balai Krishna Hazra, director general (Seeds) of the ministry, were also present at the meeting.
The Agriculture Minister said that the Jute Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture has discovered the genome of jute under the visionary and timely initiative of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Using that genome, the country's scientists have developed high-yielding jute varieties, whose yield is much higher than India's jute varieties.
The Minister urged the officers, extension staff and scientists of the Agriculture Department to take quick short term and long term initiatives to implement the roadmap for self-sufficiency in jute seeds.
Senior Secretary Md Mesbahul Islam said there is a shortage of land for jute cultivation and the land of abandoned sugar mills can be used for jute production.
The meeting was informed that about 85% of the jute produced in the country is of the Tosha variety About 85-90 of the demand for jute seeds is to be imported from India The Ministry of Agriculture has prepared a 5-year action plan or roadmap to reduce this foreign dependence and become self-sufficient in jute seeds.
A target of 4,500 metric tons of jute seeds has been set in the country in the next 5 years from the next 2021-22 financial year to 2025-26.

85 lakh rupees for areca nut cultivation So, instead of growing jute seeds, the farmer considers it profitable to buy seeds from the market and cultivate jute.
