Agriculture accounts for approximately 13.6 per cent of Bangladesh’s GDP and employs more than 40.6 per cent of the labour force. As technology advances, so do agricultural applications, ushering in a new era of industrial upheaval.

Chashibon, a concept developed by Kamrunnesa Mira in Natore, has not only added a new dimension to the country s agriculture sector but also eradicated the need for middlemen in the area, ensuring fair trade between farmers and buyers.
Although Bangladesh is an agriculture-based country, many farmers are deprived of fair prices due to the prevalence of middlemen and brokers.
