The development of the citrus organic product, lotkon (Baccaurea sapida), has been picking up fame among ranchers in Narsingdi. Around 5,000 ranchers in the locale develop lotkon for monetary reasons.

As a major aspect of a yield broadening program, the Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE) has been empowering ranchers in the locale to develop lotkon. An authority said the development of the organic product returns more benefit than numerous other nearby natural products.

He said the interest for lotkon has seen a day by day increment. The scrumptious and delicious organic product, little and round in size, resembles a major marble. It for the most part develops on high decrepit area and around houses.

As indicated by the neighborhood DAE office, an aggregate of 200 saplings can be planted on one bigha of area, delivering up to a normal of 5 tons of lotkon a season. Afaj Uddin, a rancher from Dhanaya in the Shibpur upazila said from one bigha of area, one can undoubtedly procure Tk50,000-Tk60,000 a season.

The representative executive of the Narsingdi DAE, Muksed Ali, said lotkon is being sent out, particularly to the Middle East and Europe.

He likewise communicated trusts that this year, Narsingdi will trade more than 60 tons of lotkon to outside nations. He said that the nation could make immense profit in remote trade each year by sending out lotkon.

Narsingdi has developed as the developing place that is known for occasional organic product, Lotkon (Burmese grape) and all over the region ranchers are occupied with developing and gathering right now. Ranchers are presently taking a gander at the business sector cost as the business sectors are currently loaded with this delicious natural product.

Ranchers and merchants are breathing easy and the buyers are cheerfully purchasing their most loved natural products from the business sector. The fortunate thing about the Narsingdi ranchers is that they have contributed almost no sum but then making a tremendous benefit. Vocation status has enhanced, so did economically.

Lotkon has been cultivated in Narsingdi on 600 hectares of area. It's unquestionably an extraordinary accomplishment as I went to meet Sirajul Islam, a fruitful lotkon rancher from Ajkitola town in Narsingdi. He is presently at his preeminent developing and procuring brilliantly well. In his plantation, Sirajul has around 600 to 700 trees and he trusts that it's all that could possibly be needed to run his family for a year. I was extremely awed and greatly valued that DAE has been truly reassuring the agriculturists to develop more lotkon, as a component of their yield broadening system.

Nur Chand Mridha is another promising lotkon rancher who has been taking after the strides of his uncle, Abdul Aziz. He is constantly occupied with working at his plantation. A little talk with him stunned me.

"There's very little you have to do… it's not diligent work by any means", says Mridha.

"Only a tiny bit of work is sufficient to deliver lotkon", included grinning Mridha.
