Monywa, 4 November

A  total  of  40,956 acres  of  bean varieties  have  been  earmarked to cultivate in Kanbalu Township  of Sagaing Region in 2024-2025 FY, according to  the  Township  Agriculture  Department.

“The local farmers are growing pulses and beans on a larger scale as consumption requirements for beans are increased in the Township. Among the crops, pulses are one of the successful cultivation because it has become one of farmers’ main cash crops today. The Township sends pulses not only to the regions and states but also to the neighboring countries” according to an official from the Township Department of Agriculture.

In this year’s oilseed crops growing season, the Township has targeted to grow 40,956 acres of bean varieties including 850 acres of mung bean, 1,950 acres of green gram, 995 acres of butter bean, 12,730 acres of blue phaseolus, 17,790 acres of chick pea, 600 acres of cow pea, 5,550 of lablab bean and 860 acres of other types of beans in the Township.—District IPRD
