Wheat

Wheat is Bangladesh's second major cereal after rice. It is the base for ruti, paratha, biscuits, and many flour-based foods. It is mainly a rabi (winter) crop and needs less water than rice, so many farmers grow it after the rice harvest. Key points: Well-drained land, timely sowing, balanced fertilizer, and weed control improve yield. Improved varieties and timely harvest protect grain quality. Wheat adds dietary diversity and can reduce import dependence when domestic production rises.
