, Dec. 9 -- As winter settles over Chuadanga, vast stretches of farmland have turned white - not with frost, but with the blooming heads of cauliflower that mark one of the district's most profitable vegetable seasons in recent years.

The bumper yield, coupled with favourable market prices, has brought long-awaited smiles to the faces of farmers who suffered losses just a year ago.

Farmers said that they are spending Tk 30,000-35,000 per bigha and selling produce worth Tk 80,000 to Tk 1.3 lakh, earning profits of Tk 50,000-70,000 from each bigha of land.

According to the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE), the target for cauliflower cultivation in Chuadanga this year was set at 2,975 hectares.
