In a visit on Sunday the correspondent found a good number woman are passing busy to feed ducks along with male members of the extreme poor family. They are seen proving boiled rice to reduce production cost. The farmers do the business in a large scale and eradicate the curse of poverty.
New farm owners of Dupchanchia upazila are engaged to arrange ducks eggs trade, earning enough for living a moderate life in the river area. If they have been aided strongly, they would get an easy way of being wealthy.
Another farmer said, he started duck rearing borrowing Tk 40,000 from his relatives in simple condition last year. After a year, I become able to return the capital to his relative now he is in profitable situation.
