In Bangladesh, farmers love to produce rice. Rice is the main food crop in Bangladesh. People are mostly habituated to eating rice all over their livelihood. Now-a-days, some people are also taking wheat based food, i.e., Roti or Porota in at least one of their meals in the hole day. Vegetables like potato, cauliflower, tomato, brinjals, okra and the leafy vegetables like spinach and amaranths are also eaten. Onions, chillies and garlics are taken as the main spices in the different types of curry preparations. Fish, pulses, chicken, muttons, and beefs are taken along with the boiled-soft rice (Bhaat). Imported soybean and palm oil has already replaced the local tori and mustard oils. At present soybean oil is taken profusely by the all classes of people as the main vegetable oil in Bangladesh.
In the photo, a corrugated galvanized iron made farmers house is seen. There are several stockpiles of dried paddy stems are also seen in the picture. Farmers call it Poaal or Khawr, which is very much appreciated by the livestock like cows and buffaloes as the basic fibrous feed. Other additional concentrate livestock feeds like oil cakes, wheat husks, broken lathirus pulse (or, Kheshari) and low quality cereals are mixed with Poaal for preparation of the better quality balanced rations for the milking animals and working bullocks.
