About
Zahirul Islam (35) runs a betel leaf garden (boroj) in Bhatshala village, Mamudnagar union, Nagarpur upazila, Tangail. He used to work as a tailor in someone else's shop. On a friend's advice he brought about 5,000 cuttings of a sweet betel variety from Rajshahi and planted them on about 25 decimals of unused land at his homestead. Building a jute-stick fence around it and a shade roof on top cost Tk 1,35,000. He began picking leaves after nine months and recovered the whole cost within a few months. He says he was the first to grow betel leaf in Nagarpur upazila; when problems arise he brings experienced growers from Rajshahi for advice. He sells the leaves in local markets and takes them to Rajshahi, and this income supports his wife and two children. With support he wants to grow betel on a larger scale.
