Large-scale groundnut cultivation is particularly expanding in the char areas along the Meghna River in Raipura upazila. Areas such as Chanpur, Majher Char, Mauhinipur, Sadagar, Kandir Char, Chardighaldi, Alokbali in Sadar upazila, and Char Belabo have seen a notable increase in groundnut farming this season. Additionally, the land used for groundnut cultivation can later be utilized for other crops, increasing its overall productivity. With rising demand and continued institutional support, groundnut cultivation in Narsingdi’s char areas is expected to grow further in the coming years.
