About
Three friends from Jilbunia village in Sarankhola upazila, Bagerhat, Lokman Sardar, Mamun and Manik, grew watermelon for the first time in a field beside the Baleshwar river embankment and got a good harvest. With no experience they invested Tk 60,000 each and leased three bigha at Tk 8,000 a bigha; seed, fertiliser, pesticide, net fencing and irrigation brought the total cost to Tk 180,000. They irrigate not from the salty river but from two ponds that hold rainwater. The first picking sold for Tk 40,000, the second batch was worth Tk 120,000-130,000, and another Tk 200,000-250,000 of fruit was still in the field; they expected to sell over Tk 500,000 in all. Wholesalers were buying at the field for Tk 12,000 a maund, and visitors came to buy fresh watermelons. The three invest equally, work equally and share the profit equally.
