Korean Ambassador in Bangladesh Park Suk Bum and Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development (BARD) Director General M Khairul Kabir jointly inaugurated the cafeteria project.
Jae Soon Lee, a Korean volunteer, has been working in BARD under the sponsorship of Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), established this project to process locally available fruits into jam, jelly as well as bean curd (tofu), which is a new edible item in the area.
