Farmers Face Problems in Mymensingh

Hasan Mahmud, Mymensingh, 10 September: The farmers of the district of Mymensingh are leading a hard and miserable life. They are facing a lot of problems, but it seems that there is none to solve their problems. This has been come to light while talking to them about their condition to run this survey.

The main problem they are facing is that they have no sufficient source of water to irrigate their fields to grow crops. To grow crops they mainly depend on the mercy of nature that is rain. That's why they cannot grow crops round the year. Besides, most of the time crops fail as rain is not timely and proportional to the need.

The next vital problem they face is that they cannot procure good quality seeds for growing various crops. They also do not get good supply of fertilizers. As a result, their lands do not yield sufficient crops. Furthermore, they are to cultivate their lands with traditional tools and in ancient method.

So, poverty and wants are their constant companions. It is time the government gave attention to this long neglected region of the country. If the problems of the farmers of this region are addressed, it will go a long way to solving the food problem of the country and the farmers will also be able to get rid of poverty.
