The office said last year farmers got 2,15,246 tons maize from 20,268 hectares of land in the district. As farmers got boost yield of maize and its fair price last year, they drifted to bring more land under maize cultivation.

Mahbubur Rashid Mohabbat, a farmer at Vengura village in Islampur upazila said, "This year I cultivate maize on five Bighas of land. As I got a good profit last year from the crop, I increased land on it".

He said last year varying the size per mound (40 kg) raw maize was sold at Tk800 to Tk1,000 and dried maize Tk1,400 to Tk1,500.
