Bangladesh is a tropical country, and the climate of this country is perfect for the production of bananas. The major districts of our country that cultivate bananas are Narshingdi, Bogra, Rangpur, Pabna, Nator, Faridpur, Noakhali, and Khulna. The districts that grow wild bananas are Bandarban, Moulvibazar, Sylhet, Rangamati, Netrokona, and Khagrachori. The soil of the mentioned areas is extremely fertile to grow bananas.<\/p>

In many Upazilas of Natore such as Baraigram, Singra, and Gurdaspur farmers are heading towards banana farming because of its higher profit and lower production cost than other crops. Zahurul Haque Sarkar, Lecturer of Bilchan Shaheed Samsujjoha Government College, told that he cultivated bananas on a one-acre land and he sold those for BDT 60 to BDT 70 at the cost of BDT 18, 000 to BDT 19,200 per bigha. The most exciting thing about banana farming is that once you have planted a banana tree, you can sell that for three to four seasons.<\/p>

Mainly, farmers cultivate different varieties of bananas such as Champa, Anupam, Manik, and Megh Sagar because these varieties can be harvested quickly. Shobri is another popular type of banana that farmers cultivate. When the banana plants are small, you can plant some other companion crops on the land, so that you can have a diversified source of income. Again, the demand for this fruit remains almost the same throughout the year and the price is also satisfactory.<\/p>

So, as a whole, banana farming in Bangladesh is quite profitable. Now, you must have got your answer to the question how profitable is banana farming?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
