About
Zahirul Islam Sumon's (38) jujube orchard in Lampur village, East Jor Kanan union, Cumilla Sadar Dakshin upazila. After 18 unsuccessful years in Saudi Arabia he came home in 2018 and supported his family working at his father's tea stall. With a relative's advice and help, in 2024 he leased a plot and started growing jujube with about Tk 1 lakh. Soon after planting, a flood kept the orchard under water for about 13 days and 14–15 trees died, but the rest survived. The trees now bear Australian Ball Sundari, Kashmiri and Apple kul varieties. With no other jujube orchard nearby, buyers come straight to the orchard every day; demand is 30–40 kg a day but he can pick only 15–20 kg. He hopes to earn about Tk 3 lakh from the orchard this season. His father Abu Taher also helps after closing the tea stall, and the upazila agriculture office advises him.
