Staff reporter : "If you plant a tea plant on the hill of Humtan Amgur, then you will have a tea plantation garden. But no one sowed tea. Phoenix is coming. I planted tea. There are tea trees, leaf leaves on the tree. Tea will be planted on this hill since it was a dream since Huna had tea planting. The taste of the tea plantation has been fulfilled. It is just waiting to eat tea leaves (money) to eat tea. "Recently, talking to the Bangladesh Today correspondent said that the dream of tea cultivation in the hills was fulfilled in such a way that farmer of village Gandigaon of Sherpur Jhenyigati upazila. Bangladesh Today Sherpur correspondent Ramesh Sarkar special report, with the tea plantation of the border in the second phase of the thebangladeshtoday24.blogspot.com, will be held today. A survey team of Bangladesh Tea Board and Tea Research Institute conducted the survey in 2004, after peeping the possibility of tea cultivation in the inner hills of Sherpur district of India. Then in 1800 acres of land in Jhenegati upazila, 25 acres in Nalitabari upazila and 11 hundred 51 acres of land in Srivodari upazila declared suitable for tea cultivation. But due to lack of necessary number of land, financing, entrepreneurship and government patronage, it was not developed. After about 14 years, 27 thousand tea seed distribution programs were organized for 27 exhibition gardens through small farmers of three upazilas (Jhenyigati, Sirbadi, Nalitabari) under the initiative of a non-government organization named Garo Hills T. Company in April this year. According to Garo Hills T. Company sources, due to wildfire attacks and soil type in this region, the cultivation of regular crops on this hill area would not have been very similar. Therefore, due to various difficulties farmers were losing interest in cultivation. Tea cultivation has opened up the possibilities for them. In just six months of the tea cultivation, new farmers expressed their interest in tea cultivation. As a result, the company started production of nearly 200,000 saplings by cutting tea plant from Panchagarh. And there are about 35 acres of land that will be planted. Former Bangladesh Assistant Professor of Bangladesh Tea Research Institute (BTRI) MA Khalek said, I was with the expert team during the quality assessment of land for tea cultivation in the border areas of the district. The soil, temperature, rainfall and other environmental conditions here are very useful for tea cultivation. If there is a big investment and sponsorship of the government, there will be wide spread of art. Chairman of Upazila Tribal Welfare Association Nawab Khaksi said, crops damaged on the Garo hills, due to floods in the hills, were substantially damaged. That's why farmers of this area can not harvest crops. Now tea farmers are beginning to cultivate tea because they are very interested in cultivating tea. Garo Hills T Company Chairman. Amzad Hossain Phoenix said that the soil of this region is very useful for tea cultivation. So 27 thousand tea seedlings have been planted experimentally in 27 exhibition gardens through small farmers. The leaves started coming to those trees. Seeing that many farmers have been interested in tea cultivation. He also said, "We believe that tea will be produced through tea cultivation, it will play an important role in the economic development of Sherpur district or country." Besides, Ghazni Tourism will also make a big contribution for the time being. Upazila chairman Aminul Islam Badsha said, "Because of the loss of crop and livelihood in the attack of Ghazni vacation and wild elephants, there is a special mention of this region. With the involvement of the larger population of the hill population, the tea cultivation started to be replaced by the new beauty. He hoped that the beauty of the greenhouse would attract the commercial possibilities with the rise in beauty and tourism as well.
