RAJSHAHI, July 22 (BSS): Muhammad Ali, a farmer of Chandapur village under Bagmara Upazila of the district, has become successful through betel leaf farming.
As the first betel leaf grower in his locality, Ali earned fame as a successful farmer in the region. His three sons- Aminul Islam, Abdul Hamid and Ali Hossain extended support to his works earnestly. By dint of his hardworking and relentless efforts towards the betel leaf farming, Ali built a concrete house for the first time in the area.
Witnessing his success many of his neighbours became inspired and established 'Baraj', unit betel leaf farming, and they are now doing well.
At present, the three brothers have set up separate 'baraj' and they have also become successful farmers. "Earlier, we had scanty land, had only one 'baraj' and faced many problems. But, now we are owners of 12 bighas of land and have 4/5 'baraj' separately," said Aminul Islam while narrating their successes.
Aminul said they work very hard in the farming activities and pass most of their time in nursing betel leaf plants.
