CropsLalmonirhat jute fetches Tk 5,100 a maund, easing a rain-hit harvest
Jute growers in Lalmonirhat are getting Tk 1,400 to 1,500 more a maund than a year ago; heavy rain and floods left plants 2 to 5 feet shorter and cut fibre by 40 to 60 kilograms a bigha, but higher prices are making up the loss.
