Bangladeshi village farmers Bangladesh is an agriculture dependent country. Most of the people live in villages. A large number of them are occupied with agriculture and they earn their living from agriculture. The people that are involved with agriculture are called farmers. Once, jute, rice and some selected crops were preferred by farmers to deal with. But now a days the Bangladeshi village farmers has find out an expanded area to work with. Now farmers have several sites to work and they are showing auto and home insurance performance at their own workplace. Bangladeshi village farmers have some categories. They are: 1.Crop farmers 2.Vegetable farmers 3.Fruit farmers 4.Flower farmers 5.Fish farmers 6.Poultry farmers 7.Dairy farmers 8.Nursery farmers Crop farmers Bangladesh is a country of fertile land. There are many rivers, canals, streams and lakes all over the country that’s why this country is suitable for cultivation. From a long ago the Bangladeshi village farmers are familiar with crop cultivation. In those days also there were two types of farmers — agrarians and landless. Both types are visible till now in villages. The first one gets the larger part of the crop because of their land ownership. The second one though gives hard labor, though after that they live a miserable life. In the very northern area of Bangladesh a short timed famine is seen every year. Vegetable farmers Many Bangladeshi village farmers are now showing their interest in this project and doing also well. Vegetables were not cultivated commercially before. But now lots of areas are covered with vegetable field. Government and some NGOs are showing the technique of proper irrigation and how to decrease the uses of insecticide. Fruit farmers For the last few years Bangladeshi village farmers are showing their success in fruit field. Bangladeshi agricultural research sector are also helping them in this field by giving them new invented plants of much growing fruits. Flower farmers Now a days Bangladeshi village farmers are also doing well in flower cultivating. They are now producing various types of flowers that are sold in the flower markets. The increasing demand for flowers has inspired them to take this step. A lot of people are occupied with flowering sector. Fish farmers Once there was a time that the Bangladeshi people’s demand for fish could be fulfilled by the fish that the fishermen caught from natural reservoirs. But now the situation is much more changed. Unplanned fishing, using current net for fishing, use of poisonous chemical insecticides has driven the reservoirs inappropriate for growing more fish and to fulfill the demand for fish. As a result, for the growing population’s fish supply now Bangladeshi village farmers has started to produce fish commercially. Poultry farmers Poultry farming is a very familiar sector in Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi village farmers have shown their mentionable activity in this sector. There is not so much difficulties to run a poultry farm. It only takes a hard labor and attention to keep a poultry farm running. Many village families have changed their economical condition by starting a poultry farm. Dairy farmers Dairy farm is one of the old farming in Bangladesh. From the very beginning Bangladeshi village farmers used to keep up cows and goats as domestic animals. They also used the cow to plough their land for cultivation. But now the government and some NGOs are inspiring village farmers to keep high quality cows and goats and as a result they are able to change their life style by the profits that come from the dairies. Nursery farmers “Plant trees — save the world” — this is the slogan to save the environment as well as to save the country. Unplanned tree cuts, rapidly growing population, cutting trees to establish factories and housings all these are pushing the country at a risk of natural disaster as well as global worming. To prevent these types of disasters it needs to plant more and more trees. So some Bangladeshi village farmers have found this new sector as an important project. They produce various types of plants commercially and sell them. A lot of people are involved in this sector. So long I have discussed about the Bangladeshi village farmers. I hope that next time I will discuss about their lifestyle. Till then… take care.
