ফুলকপির কোনো দাম নেই 🥺
It’s a supply and demand problem. Most farmers are saddled with a surplus.
In West Bengal the total area under cauliflower cultivation is around 57,000 hectares. The state has so far produced 1.670 million metric tonnes of the crop with an average productivity of 2.93 metric tonnes for each hectare. Around 40,000 people are involved in vegetable farming in Bhangar 1 and 2 blocks of South 24 Parganas district alone.
Sowing starts in October and the first crop is ready to be harvested after 50-55 days.
