Educated young entrepreneurs are setting remarkable examples of success in agriculture. Their planned, technology-based farming contributes to the economy and creates jobs for unemployed young people. One such farmer is Kibria Gazi of Shibpur, Narsingdi.
From one pond to sixty
Two decades ago, as a student, he began farming with fish in one pond at home and a single cow. Through dedication, that start has become a large integrated farm: one fish pond has grown to 60, and the farm now has 35 cows and 18,000 layer hens.
Kibria Gazi says television played a big role in his farming venture and success.
Jobs and expansion
The farm employs many local farm workers, and planned farming keeps it expanding. His success is a model for young agricultural entrepreneurs to follow.
