Kyunhla, 18 September

A  total  of  16,000  acres  of  pulses  and  beans  have  been  planted  in  Kyunhla Township  of Sagaing Region in 2024-2025 monsoon season, according to  the  Township  Agriculture  Department.

“The Township authorities have earmarked to grow 16,953 acres of pulses and beans in this year’s monsoon season, but local  farmers have so far planted 16,956 acres of pulses and  beans  against  the  target  cultivation”, said Daw Myint Myint Yee, staff officer of the Township Agriculture Department. “Farmers are trying hard to expand sown acreage of pulses and beans in the Township year by year” she added.

In order to successfully develop rain-fed crop plantations and achieve the targeted output, the Township Department of Agriculture is making field trips and sharing knowledge on agricultural techniques such as good quality seeds, systematic ways of planting and prevention of pest infestation to farmers in the Township.—Myo Win Nyo(Kyunhla)
