Shushilan

Quality seed is the prerequisite for bumper production of rice. Shushilan, has implemented the PETRRA project in support of BRRI to produce quality rice seeds in 2001. It is also very difficult for the farmers to assess the quality of seeds. Falling within this process, the farmers are getting loser with lower production and income inspite of paying hard laborer. In this situation, quality seed production and preservation was started to ensure supply of quality seeds to the farmers in the session. Initiative was taken to produce foundation seed through breeder seed collected from BRRI. The foundation seeds are used to produce truthful level seed by some selected farmers for supplying to the mass farmers. Around 3.5 ton seeds were supplied among farmers in last year. Shushilan has got a dealership certificate from the government.
