About
Young agri-entrepreneur Shimul Mia (28) of Suryadi village, Kamaria union, Sherpur, studies English honours at Sherpur Government College while growing medicinal plants, sack ginger and new vegetables. With the district agriculture office's help, in December 2024 he trial-planted chia seed on 50 decimals — the first in Sherpur; sowing to harvest cost Tk 5,000–6,000, and he hopes to profit about Tk 1 lakh. The crop takes 90–100 days. People of all ages come daily to see the field, and interest in chia has grown among local farmers.
