Plan for growing local fruits commercially

Recently I came across media reports that stated that the Agriculture Ministry has made plans to increase the commercial production of 70 local fruits. It's a Tk 2 billion plan. Under the plan, the government will motivate farmland owners to develop gardens and orchards of local fruits for family consumption as well as for commercial purposes. 

The plan includes supply of fruit plant sapling and other inputs, and training of field level officials and interested farmers. We consume negligible quantities of fruits required for good health. We hope that after the successful implementation of the plan, local fruits will be available in good quantity at an affordable price. I would like to thank all concerned in the Agriculture Ministry for coming up with such an important plan.
