The main problems of agricultural production:

  1. Lack of skilled manpower
  2. Waterlogging and floods in the monsoon
  3. Lack of quality seed/saplings
  4. Decreasing agricultural land
  5. Problems of marketing

Opportunities and potentials of agricultural production:

  1. Sufficient and suitable land for increasing the production of maize, potato, sweet gourd.
  2. There are interested and progressive farmers.
  3. Irrigation / drainage facilities are available.
  4. If project/ incentive/ agricultural inputs assistance is provided, small and marginal farmers will also be able to play role in production.
