About
Zahidul Islam runs a commercial grape garden in Dariyapur village, Sakhipur upazila, Tangail. A Naik in the Counter Terrorism Unit in Dhaka, he was inspired by grape-growing videos on YouTube, and at the start of Ramadan 2022 he bought 49 saplings of the Indian 'Choyon' variety for Tk 22,000 and planted them on 20 decimals beside his house. The vines fruited within a year, each giving 20–25 kg of grapes. In 2023 he was picking about 80 kg a day and selling at Tk 200 a kg; by then about Tk 1.5 lakh worth had been sold and he expected about Tk 3 lakh for the season. The garden now has 57 vines, and three new red, black and green varieties have been planted. While he is away his nephew Rakib Hossain looks after the garden, and worker Nurul Islam tends the vines and sells grapes to visitors. People come from different areas every day to see the garden.
