By Md Aynal HaqueRAJSHAHI, Dec 27, 2025 (BSS) - Potato farming through the net-house system is emerging as a lucrative venture in the Rajshahi region, including the Barind tract, providing higher income opportunities and encouraging entrepreneurship among local farmers and youths. Mijanur Rahman Kazi, general secretary of the Seed Potato Growers Cooperative Society, told BSS that around 750 seed-growing farmers have achieved satisfactory yields using the net-house method last year. "The method is gaining momentum across the region, helping farmers increase income while ensuring sustainable production," he said. This Rabi season, around 37.72 lakh tonnes of potato are expected from 1,56,620 hectares across eight districts of the division. In the Rajshahi Agricultural Zone, the target is 14.05 lakh tonnes from 58,240 hectares, while in the Bogra Zone, 23.67 lakh tonnes are expected from 98,380 hectares.
