Although the prices of cucumbers are high in the market during Ramadan, at present cucumber farmers are in a lot of trouble with the price of cucumbers. However, the country’s best retail chain Supershop ‘Swapn’ has stood by the cucumber farmers in such a difficult time. Recently it was revealed in the media that the cucumber growers of Khansama Upazila of Dinajpur are disappointed because of not getting fair price.
Cucumbers are being sold for just 2 to 4 rupees per kg in the wholesale market. Farmers are not getting fair price. At that time, Swapan authorities contacted those cucumber growers and bought cucumbers at a fair price. Those cucumbers are now available at Swapna outlets at a lower price than the open market. On Thursday, cucumbers were sold at Tk 40 per kg in the open market, but customers can buy them at Swapna outlet at Tk 12 per kg, i.e. at an affordable price, which is lower than the open market.
In the meantime, Swapna representative has bought 2 tons of cucumber from Khansama area of Dinajpur and 6 tons of cucumber from Haluaghat area of Mymensingh.
Currently, their produced cucumbers have arrived at Swapna’s outlets, this offer will be available to customers while stocks last. Sabbir Hasan Nasir, executive director of Swapna, said that we came to know about the suffering of cucumber farmers through the news. After hearing about the suffering of farmers in Dinajpur, Mymensingh, etc., we bought cucumbers from them at a fair price. Other traders will also be called upon to come forward for farmers. Swapna has been trying to build bridges directly with farmers without benefiting middlemen. This effort will always continue.
Swapna’s Head of Purchase Sajjadul Haque said in this regard, after seeing the news of cucumber farmers’ crisis in various media, we have decided that we will stand by these farmers. We have already bought 8 tons of cucumbers from several areas including Dinajpur, Mymensingh. Even before ‘Dream’ has stood by the side of many farmers who are suffering in difficult times. There will be front and side.
