Prioritising local fruits

Every season in Bangladesh comes to us with its own appeal. It becomes particularly visible when you pay a visit to a local fruit market as it offers a variety of fruits in different times of the year. We should encourage everyone, particularly our children, to develop the habit of eating more and more domestic fruits like jackfruit, guava, black berry, pineapple, watermelon, mango and many other types of fruits that grow in our fertile land.

The fruits that grow in a particular region are very essential for the people living in the area and consumption of these fruits is good for those people. In other words, we should give priority to our domestic fruits over the fruits imported from abroad. Moreover, local farmers will be more motivated to grow more fruit trees.
