About

Md. Shafiq (30), from Sherpur, runs a nursery on rented land at Malkhanagar in Sirajdikhan upazila, Munshiganj; according to a 2023 report he had been in the trade for 12 years. He has two vans for his mobile nursery and, three or four days a week, sells saplings from his own nursery around the markets, crossroads and neighbourhoods of Sreenagar and nearby areas. This earns him Tk 30,000-35,000 a month, about Tk 3.5 lakh a year after paying workers and other costs. Demand is growing for foliage and flowering plants for rooftop gardens and pots; mobile nurseries in the area sell fruit, timber, medicinal and flower saplings for Tk 20-500.
