Although fruits are available throughout the year in Bangladesh during the monsoon season, the fruits are harvested during the honeymoon. The role of fruits in meeting health, nutrition, disease prevention and food needs is immense. As the country is temperate, almost all types of fruits can be cultivated in this country. Primitive people lived by eating fruits. There is a saying in Khanar- ‘Twelve fruits in Baromas, no abyss is played’. Fruits are not just food - the contribution of fruits in all aspects of life, including herbal, economic, environmental, social and religious ceremonies is undeniable. Scientific research has shown that the financial value of a 50-year-old fruit tree that benefits us throughout its life is about 35.40 lakh rupees. Fruit cultivation is very neglected in this country. The country has the opportunity to plant a lot of fruit trees in the vicinity of fallow lands, uncultivated lands, crop lands, roads, institutions etc. In the eyes of Islam, planting fruit trees is a charity. The cost of cultivating fruit trees is low and the profit is high.
