Farmer Mozida, from Dinajpur, benefits from bed planting
Mozida, a farmer in Dinajpur, Bangladesh, processes maize that was sown through the service of a bed planter provided by CIMMYT. “My husband is very happy, I care for the field while he works in Dhaka. We feel better because we don't have to plough, and we have better yield. Last year I had to work very hard, but there is no need for weeding now.”
This year, Mozida and her husband have more money to invest in the education of their 14 year old daughter.
