Change Maker: Dragon fruit kindles hope

(1/1)

Md. Fouad Hossain Sarker:
With cultivation commencing in 2013, Khagrachhari Agro Garden in Maishchhari Guchhogram is both the oldest and the largest commercial producer of dragon fruit in the district. “We have 550 dragon fruit cacti,” says its caretaker Mohammad Julhas. “We harvested the first fruit last year and expect around 150 bushes to produce fruit this season. So far, we have produced around 200 kilograms of dragon fruit which means earnings of at least Tk 1 lakh," he said while talking to The Daily Star last month.
