The distribution program was held today at the Murshadpur Union Parishad facilities in the Porsha Upazila of the Naogaon district by the Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE).

According to Food Minister Sadhan Majumder, the current administration has been giving farmers free fertilizer and seeds to increase agricultural productivity. Additionally, he claimed that a particular group has been plotting to instigate an artificial fertilizer shortage in the nation, and that the government is using strong-arm tactics to stop them.

He explained to the farmers gathered there that although the government must buy fertilizer at a cost of 6,500 Taka per sac, the farmers must pay between 800 and 1,100 Taka for it.

On this occasion, the minister gave 5,010 small and marginal farmers fertilizer and seeds of wheat, maize, mustard, sunflower, lentil, grass pea, groundnut, mugdul, and onion as part of the agriculture incentive program.
