বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ত্রয়োদশ খণ্ড

 With regard to agricultural production, Dinajpur, Rangpur, Rajshahi, and Bogra are normally surplus areas. Pabna and Kushtia are normally deficit. Because the area normally surplus is now under populated, famine conditions are not expected to develop in this area, but the anticipated lower production will affect the total production levels in East Pakistan as a whole. Among the reasons for anticipated lower agriculture production are the in- ability to transport and distribute production inputs such as water, seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, and disruption of labor and credit. Following is the outlook for fall harvest by crops:


 Aman-in Dinajpur may be as low as 10% of normal; in Rangpur it is expected to be about 80% of normal.


Jute-down 15%.

 Boro (water-planted rice)-about normal.


 Sugar-good but the ability of mills to process is in doubt due to labor shortages and destruction of one mill,
