Bangladesh’s expenditure on importing edible oil and oilseeds is increasing to meet growing demand for cooking oil for growing population and income.
Onion seeds are often referred to as “black gold” by farmers in the Rajshahi region due to their dark shade and high market value. This stands true for the fact that when planting ran from October to early December last year, the seeds were sold at an average of Tk 5,000 per maund in the district, some 250 kilometres west of the capital.
