farmers happy because they never thought about the unprecedented price of the
cash crop in the region.
At present, jute fiber is being sold at Taka 5,200 to 6,000 per mound at
different hats and bazaars everywhere in the region creating a hope of
getting back in the golden era of the cash crop in near future.
Market price of jute was Taka 1,600 to 1,800 per mound during the initial
stage of harvesting and the price has stood to around Taka 6,000 at present
which is the highest ever in the country’s history, said Imran Ali, 54, a
farmer of Borgachhi village under Paba Upazila.
