Bangladesh is tenth in the world in tea production.
Bangladesh's Srimangal - Moulvibazar: A new record has been set in tea production. The Tea Board authorities said that this is the highest amount ever produced in the history of tea production in the country.
At one time jute was the main cash crop in our country.
But now the farmers have lost their enthusiasm and enthusiasm for jute cultivation. Because they are not getting due respect for their hard work. Jute prices are much lower in the market.
So now, starting from the farmers, some unemployed youths are inclined towards tea cultivation.
According to the Bangladesh Tea Research Center in Srimangal, there are currently 166 tea gardens and 257 small farmers producing tea in the country.
There are 90 tea gardens in Moulvibazar, 23 in Habiganj, 22 in Chittagong, 22 in Sylhet, 6 in Panchagarh and one each in Chittagong (Rangamati) and Brahmanbaria.
There are 6 tea gardens in Panchagarh.
And this Panchagarh is my home district.
I went on an official tour in Tentulia upazila of Panchagarh district a few days ago.
After finishing my office work in Tentulia Upazila, I went to see that tea garden.
Because there is not always the good fortune and opportunity to see the fields of cash crops.
After wandering around the tea garden for some time, I sat in this cottage to get some rest.
In this cottage, tea growers collect tea leaves and store them here temporarily.
Talking to the tea growers in the area, I came to know that some people earn about one crore rupees a year from this tea garden.
I was very happy to hear.
Because they are getting a fair price for their hard work.
I will share some pictures of that tea garden with you. I hope you like it.
