About
Istiaq Hasan, a senior officer at the Islami Bank Gangni branch in Meherpur, has started growing ekangi on one and a half bighas in Debipur village, Gangni upazila, alongside his job. Ekangi is a valuable medicinal plant, better known in the villages as ekani; some call it bhui champa or aromatic ginger. Inspired by a friend's ekani crop, he took seed from that friend and began; he comes to the village on his weekly days off to work the land. In his words one bigha costs about Tk 1 lakh, and the crop is very profitable as long as rot disease does not strike. In January 2026 he expected to harvest within 15–20 days and hoped for a profit of Tk 3–4 lakh if prices were good. As this is the first ekani crop in the village, people come to see his field and ask his advice. The upazila agriculture officer says ekangi has spice and medicinal value, is used in cosmetics and fish feed, and is an exportable crop.
