Barriers to multi-layered mixed fruit orchards: drought; Lack of money; Lack of technical knowledge; Not getting materials on time; Disease and insect attacks; Lack of irrigation; Labor shortages.
The importance of fruits in meeting the nutritional needs of the human body is immense. Our per capita daily fruit requirement is 200 grams and to meet this demand it is possible to develop the desired nutrition by establishing multi-layered orchards. However, the reality is that the amount of cultivable land in Bangladesh is declining every year due to overpopulation. There is no substitute for multi-layered orchards to get higher yields from less land. Most of the rural people in Bangladesh choose the places around their homes to produce and work their fruits. In order to maintain the nutritional balance of the population of Bangladesh in the homes of this country.
