The Jaldugi and Colombia pineapple types growing in Tangail's Madhupur Garh district are in high demand. The Jaldugi or GiantQ pineapple from Madhupur is presently being marketed to many European nations.
Local reports claim that farmers in the region have abandoned pineapple in the hopes of generating more money. However, as non-toxic pineapple growing expands, the demand for this pineapple grows.
People increasingly prefer to eat non-toxic fruit, according to pineapple dealers. Even Nevertheless, many farmers use hazardous pesticides on pineapple in order to increase their profits. The raw pineapple takes at least 3-4 days to mature.Pineapples typically mature 18 months after planting. Pineapple may be brought to market in 7-8 months due to the use of pesticides there. Many pineapple growers employ pesticides in the hopes of making more money in less time. As a result, farmers must consume a large amount of Himshim in order to cultivate toxic fruits and sell them on the market. Non-toxic pineapple rots 10-20% of the time.
Pineapple cultivation began in Meghalaya, India, and spread to Madhupur, a lowland tribe. It's a fruit native to the Caribbean islands. Ananas setivas is the scientific name. The Portuguese pineapple is the source of the word pineapple. Money is a wonderful fruit. Commercial pineapple cultivation began in Tangail's Madhupur upazila in 1950. Pineapple is now grown in extensive areas of Muktagachha, Fulbaria, Ghatail, and Sakhipur upazilas, in addition to Madhupur.
Farmers in Madhupur forest area villages such as Alokdia, Ausnara, Digalbaid, Arankhola, Jalchhatra, Mote Bazar, Garobazar, Rasulpur, Panchishmail, and Idilpur were recently busy cutting pineapple from the field. Since early in the morning, farmers have been selling pineapples in vans, rickshaws, and other vehicles. Because the Madhupur pineapple is unrivaled in taste and aroma, traders from all over the country, including Dhaka, Comilla, Pabna, and Rajshahi, gather to Madhupur's 25-mile water-covered pineapple market.
The number of non-toxic pineapple producers is expanding in Madhupur, according to Eugene Knorrek, president of the Jainshahi Tribal Development Council. They grow non-toxic pineapples for sale, as well as their own meals. The marketing of non-toxic pineapple requires a lot of publicity. Farmers will be encouraged to grow chemical-free pineapple as a result of this.
According to Ahsanul Bashar, Deputy Director, Tangail District Agriculture Extension Department, the Madhupur region exports a variety of crops, including pineapple, karla, chichinga, and lau.
We did, however, export 5 metric tons of veggies through Hortix Foundation last year owing to a coronavirus epidemic.The goal for this year is to export ten metric tons of vegetables and five metric tons of pineapple.Because pineapple is shipped with vegetables, there is a growing interest in non-toxic pineapple agriculture.
