A brighter future through grape farming

Clusters of grapes hang from the vines in a vineyard in Shobharampur, on the outskirts of Faridpur. A young entrepreneur, Ahmed Fazle Rabbi, along with others, drew good yields cultivating this fruit.

Farmer Ahmed Fazle Rabbi initially began growing grapes on his rooftop garden. Inspired by that, he set up frames on 70 decimals of land to grow the fruit. He saw promising results from the very first year. Photo: Mofijur Rahman Shipon
