PANCHAGARH, Mar 7: Until recently the people of Panchagarh and other areas knew that tea plantation is only possible in the hilly regions of Bangladesh like Sylhet and Chittagong and that only these regions are suitable for tea plantation. But with the passage of time the scenerio has changed. Now tea plantation is increasing day by day breaking all other ancient notions. Tea is being produced in full swing in the northern district of Bangladesh. Panchagarh district has been recognised as the third tea producing district in the country. Darjeeling variety of internationally reputed tea has already been grown here on a large scale. Now the main attraction for the tea traders men in the auction market of Chittagonj is the ample productivity and its availability there. The soil of Panchagarh is better than those of Chittagong and Sylhet for tea cultivation and plantation. The soil here is very fertile and soft which is conducing to tea-cultivation and plantation. The temperature of Panchagarh is about 180 to 300 celsious and average yearly rainfall is about 1400 to 2000 millimetre and moisture about 70 to 90 and the sun shines for about 12 hours.
