TANGAIL, Nov 14: Hundreds of pomelo growers in the district are making good profit as they are getting fair prices of their produce.

The Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE) office sources said commercial pomelo cultivation is popular in the district. The farming area is expanding every year for high profit.

The citrus fruit can be grown both in homesteads and orchards. High production and low cultivation cost are main reasons of its popularity, DAE sources added.

Each kg of pomelo is being sold at Tk 30 to Tk 40 in the local market.

Mosharraf Hossain of Shakhipur upazila said, "I got two maunds of pomelo from my orchard. I sold all of my produce at Tk 16,000 in the local market."
