Agriculture & farmingAreca and coconut planted together. Areca starts bearing in 4-5 years and coconut later still; a mature areca palm carries 200-500 nuts a year, and the Agriculture Information Service puts the profit at Tk 1-1.5 lakh an acre a year.
Food processingTurning coconuts into copra and crushing it for oil. Ordinary coconut oil sells at Tk 800-1,000 a litre and virgin at Tk 2,420-3,180, and both need a BSTI CM licence.
Light manufacturing & workshopHand-weaving mats from murta strips. In Jhalokathi one mat takes four to five days and sells for Tk 1,000-3,500, and the GI certificate has not raised that price; the weaver is still tied to the mahajan's advance.
Agriculture & farmingCanal-side guava orchards selling at the Bhimruli floating market. A maund fetched Tk 1,000-1,200 in 2026, but a ten-bigha orchard was yielding three to five maunds a day instead of ten, and with no cold store the rest rots.
Agriculture & farmingBuilding beds of water hyacinth and algae on open water to raise vegetable seedlings. No land and no irrigation needed. In Nazirpur a bed costs Tk 11,000 to build against an expected Tk 20,000 of seedling sales.
Retail & wholesaleUnloading truckloads of fruit and selling by the crate to retail shops. Badamtoli turns over about Tk 40 crore a day, and opening a crate can show 25-33 percent rotten.
Food processingFrying rice into muri. One kilo of rice gives 900 grams of muri and coarse rice costs Tk 50-55/kg, so machine muri keeps only Tk 4-6 a kilo while hand-fried pure muri wholesales at Tk 90.
