This program is about the government incentives and subsidies for farmers, Deputy Assistant Plant Protection Officer Sanaullah Azam explained various initiatives. The government offers incentives to marginal small farmers cultivating up to 1 Bigha of land in three seasons annually. These incentives are aimed at benefiting farmers directly. Government subsidies include reduced fertilizer costs, with subsidies of 82 taka per kg on Urea, 50 taka on TSP fertilizer, 41 taka on MOP, and 79 taka on DOP. This makes fertilizers more affordable for farmers, helping them enhance agricultural productivity. Radio listener Hussain inquired about obtaining bank loans with complex requirements, and Sanaullah Azam reassured that government-owned banks offer loans with favorable terms, making it easier for farmers to access financial support.Audio Player
