FruitsAbout 250 judges, lawyers and law reporters tasted mango, jackfruit, latkan and other local seasonal fruits at the Law Reporters' Forum's annual fruit festival in the Supreme Court Bar Association building on 19 July 2026.
CropsHafez Rokonuddin, a former imam from Nayanpur village in Mymensingh's Bhaluka, has built two commercial latkan orchards on four bighas and developed a selection known locally as "Nayanpuri latkan". By his own account he earns Tk 7-8 lakh a year from grafted saplings alone.
FruitsLatkan, a monsoon fruit of Bangladesh, is on sale for only a short time and spoils fast if stored badly. Choosing sound fruit, refrigerating it, freezing it in small portions and washing it just before eating help keep its quality.
FruitsA Jagonews24 report of 17 June 2026 said the seasonal fruit latkan could support weight control but was no magic cure; published research on the fruit and health-authority advice put the claim in context.
FruitsLatkan, Bangladesh's sweet-and-sour rainy-season fruit, offers calcium, phosphorus, potassium and some vitamin C. In June 2026 Jagonews24 listed points to know before eating it; here they are checked against nutrition research and health agencies.
FruitsA retired agricultural science teacher in Rasulpur, Ghatail, sold Tk 5 lakh worth of lotkon the previous year from about 2,500 fruiting trees on 7.5 acres, Jagonews24 reported on 25 July 2024.
