Seasonal Fruits in Brahmanpara Upazila | Cumilla

Local Market, Hat, Bazaar in Brahmanpara upazila under Cumilla district is full of seasonal fruits. Though there is dissatisfaction among the buyers about the prices. The seasonal change and turning has come in the nature. After a year, the Bangla month Joishtho which is the symbol of Mango, Jackfruit, Litchi and other seasonal fruits has come once again.

The summer season is also called month of honey in the country. At this time, various types of summer fruits can be seen all over the country. Like every year, various fruit markets of Brahmanpara upazila of Comilla district are flooded with summer seasonal fruits.

However, even though it is seasonal, the price of these fruits is also quite high. So there is dissatisfaction among the buyers about the prices. Fruit sellers are also admitting that prices are high. They said, this time we have to buy fruits from the wholesale market at a slightly higher price than last year. Due to which it is having an impact on the retail market.

In the Brahmanpara Sadar area, almost every market has summer seasonal fruit ceremonies. These fruits include litchi, jackfruit, mango, palm oil, pineapple etc. Besides, fruits like bel, melons and watermelons are also seen in the markets as the season is coming to an end. The aroma of these fruits is spreading in every market.

Among the summer seasonal fruits, litchi is currently at the top of the buyers' demand in the market. Besides, many people in the neighborhood are selling seasonal fruits in vans. Fruits are being sold at slightly lower prices from the markets in the mobile shops of the van. Sahebabad area, one of the fruit markets of the upazila, it is seen that the sellers are busy selling seasonal fruits. They are placing seasonal fruits in front of the main store, calling out to shoppers and trying to attract them.

Litchi is being sold more in the market. Besides, different varieties of mangoes including Himsagar and Lengra are also found in the fruit shops. However, even though litchi is fully mature, mango has just started coming to the market. Traders expect that most of the fruit market will be occupied by sweet and juicy mangoes soon.

At present the litchi is the most sold item in the market. Depending on the type, 100 litchis are being sold at BDT 250 to 300. This time the price is a bit higher than last time. But still buyers are buying litchi the most. Each store is selling more litchi than other fruits.

Besides, mangoes include Himsagar, Nakla and Langra. Himsagar is being sold at TK 80-90, Nakla at TK 70-80 and Lengra at TK 80-90.

Pineapples are being sold at TK 80-100 per hali / 4 pieces.

Taler Shash is being sold at TK 20 per piece.

The jackfruit is very expensive. Each piece is being sold for TK 200-250.

Watermelons are being sold for TK 300 to 500 per piece.

However, sellers say that prices will continue to fall as soon as more fruit arrives in the market. They said that the sales of mangoes had not yet picked up. However, litchi is now in full season. So the litchi business is booming. Besides, there are still watermelons in the market at the end of the season. Mango sales will freeze from next week.

A buyer who came to buy seasonal fruits, said, "I bought 100 litchis for TK 300." Although there are plenty of seasonal fruits in the market, the prices are high. So many family members will not able to eat these seasonal fruits even if they want to. The administration should monitor the market regularly. So that all classes of buyers can buy these seasonal fruits.

Besides, visiting different markets of the upazila, one can see various types of fruits. In this market, hilly jackfruits and pineapples from the border areas of India are sold in large quantities. Border traders are selling seasonal fruits like jackfruit, pineapple and banana on bicycles. In this regard, the general buyers said that if the administration does a little monitoring, people of all walks of life will be able to eat seasonal fruits at this time of the year.

Tourists / Visitors can enter the Rajeshpur forest bit though buying tickets. The green nature and birds will enthrall the visitors with the environment. But improvements of infrastructure and other facilities will increase the convenience of the visitors.

There are lots various known and not known birds in the border area of ​​the Jambari forest area. Here some visitors visit by their own initiative. The forest office and staff quarters are broken. Local people of Jambari are using these for cows and goats.

Each natural Shal tree in the natural salon supplies seven time oxygen compared to other trees. The natural salon has the importance of protecting the world's natural balance.

Some wild fruit trees should be preserved in order to preserve biodiversity. Besides, there is a need for bush for breeding animals. There are some rattan plants in Rajeshpur area. These should be spread in other forest areas. A well panning has become essential of the forest department to protect these areas.

Kazi Muhammad Nurul Karim, divisional forest officer of Comilla Social Forest Division, said, "We have a crisis of manpower. Yet, bit officers are on the alert to supervise the forests.

Cassava Cultivation in Lalmai Region Comilla

Cassava Cultivation in Lalmai Cumilla

Cassava is a root vegetable which is similar to sweet potatoes. It is a tuber crop like potatoes and yams. The Latin name of cassava is Manihot Esculenta. It is the underground part of the cassava shrub. People can also eat the leaves of the cassava plant. Cassava is grown in most agro-ecological zones of Ghana and it is a major staple in West Africa. Cassava is the raw material for some industrial products.

The economy of Lalmai region under Cumilla district can change for Cassava. Comilla Sadar South Upazila Agriculture Officer Mohiuddin Majumder said, Cassava which is also known as ‘Wood Potato (Kath Alu)’ is good yield on Lalmai hills. He also said that he will talk to the senior authorities about how to help the local farmers in the agricultural sector to produce more Cassava in this hilly region.

The Cassava plant has been cultivated for many years in the hills of Lalmai region. The economy of Lalmai Hills area can be changed due to cultivation of cassava. Now to develop this production the public and non-governmental integrated enterprises need to work together.

According to the information from Agriculture Department, 6 to 7 tons of cassava can be produce from every acre of land. Cassava can be used to prepare glucose, barley, suji, bread, noodles, crackers, cakes, breads, biscuits, papor, chips and other varieties food items. In addition, starch made from cassava is also used in the textile and pharmaceutical industry. Organic fertilizers are made with leaves and the rest of the leaves of Cassava plant.

Cosmetic Starch is required 0.3 million tons per year in the garment industry, pharmaceutical industry and food processing industry in Bangladesh. But presently in the country the total production of Cassava is only 5 to 6 thousand tons a year. The rest are imported from different countries including India, Thailand and Vietnam and other countries.

This is the season of Cassava. So, farmers are busy on harvesting in different areas including Kotbari, Salmanpur, Jammura, Hajir Khamar and Lalmai area. Cassava is coming out of red soil in the hands of the farmer. After being cleaned, these Cassavas lift up on the truck. The roots of the plants are transformed into Cassava.

A farmer from Lalmai said that he used to cultivate other vegetables before. Due to varieties diseases, the crop was less. Now he is cultivating cassava because the disease is less. Less fertilizer and irrigation takes less capitalization.

One of the farmers of the village Jammura of Sadar upazila of Lalmai Hill said that he has been cultivating Cassava for last 13 years. He said that his family had cultivated this crop for a few decades till now. He has cultivated cassava in 50 acres of land. It costs BD taka 25 thousand per acre. If you get good yield, then Cassava on every acre can sell BD Taka 30 thousand.

In our country, the indigenous people of Garo Hills, Haluaghat, Madhupur in the greater Mymensingh, Netrokona, Sylhet, Lalmai Hills in Cumilla and Chittagong Hill Tracts cultivate small quantities of Cassava locally. Some Private Company of the country collects these cassavas as raw materials for different industrial use.

Lalmai hills are very ideal for harvesting Cassava. At present there are only few buyers of Cassava in the country. Some private companies collect this crop. They have to satisfy with the price they pay. Farmers will get good profits after expansion of marketing of agriculture department.

The economy of the mountain area in Lalmai zone can change due to Cassava cultivation. If the Agriculture department of the government takes some initiatives and helps the local farmers then it will save lots of money for the country.
