Brahmaputra river in Kurigram's Chilmari upazila, Rangpur's largest peanut market is practically never found on the same site two years in a row.Rangpur's largest peanut market is rarely seen on the same spot two years in a row due to shifting floods of the Brahmaputra river in Kurigram's Chilmari upazila. Peanuts were grown on approximately 81,000 acres of land in the region in fiscal year 2019-20, yielding 61,000 tonnes of the legume crop. Farmers in the region had no understanding what seed, fertilisers, or pesticides to use a few years ago, so yields were low, according to Siddique Ali, a farmer in Char Karai Barisal.
