Director (Training) of DAE Md Abdul Mazid was the chief guest and Director (Horticulture) Qudrat-E-Gani and project director Md Wahiduzzaman addressed it as the special guests. Although the national crop intensity is 190 per cent, it is only 167 per cent in Sylhet division, the event was told, so it should be raised by at least 5.0 to 10 per cent in five years through different interventions under the project. The five-year project was launched in 2015-2016 with a targeted expenditure of Tk. 540 million. It needs to be revised to meet the expanding demand, facilities and more components for the farmers, the speakers added.
