Over a decade ago, Professor Dr. Manjur Hossain of the Department of Botany of Rajshahi University (RU), pioneered the technology to launch local strawberry farming using tissue culture method in Bangladesh. Anyone with a small investment can cultivate strawberries quickly if he has access to some land. Profits are reaped quickly as well, since the production cycle is very short – strawberries are harvested in 60 to 70 days, about 30 to 35 fruits are harvested in each tree, Supply chain integration, marketing facilities, along with some government patronization are needed to fully harness the potential of the low hanging fruit.
