Young farm entrepreneur Manjurul Ahsan of Shikarpur village in Lakshmanpur union, Sharsha upazila, Jashore, passed his HSC from Government Birshreshtha Noor Mohammad Degree College and for several years has grown mango, kul, tomato, cabbage, cauliflower and other crops with his family. After watching YouTube and taking advice from the upazila agriculture office, in November he planted 'Ispahani Scale Super' and 'Sunny House' squash on 25 decimals, raising seedlings and transplanting them into mulched beds; fruit came within a month and a half. Agriculture officials say it is the first squash crop in Sharsha. It cost Tk 18,000; he has already sold Tk 50,000 of squash and hopes to reach Tk 150,000. Each squash weighs 1.5-2.5 kg and sells for Tk 40-60 a kg; large ones are wanted as vegetables and small ones for salad. Besides local buyers, customers from Dhaka and other big cities buy from him, and other farmers visit the field to learn the method.
