Over 65 agricultural business owners gathered for a recent training session, where Mr. Samrat Khisa, an Upazila official, took the stage as the main guest. Advocating for collaboration between private establishments and the government, Khisa emphasized that supporting farmers will accelerate national progress. He urged the facilitation of loans with favorable conditions to enable farmers to cultivate and sell their preferred crops. Expressing gratitude to UCB for supporting entrepreneurs in remote regions like Sandwip, Khisa set an optimistic tone for the event.

According to the official statement, Rezaul Karim Siddique, host of Bangladesh Television's Mati O Manhu show and an agricultural information expert, stressed the importance of enhancing farmers' skills and empowering them as businesspersons. Siddique highlighted the need for understanding optimal planting times, effective sales strategies, and identifying high-profit crops. UCB stood out among non-public banks, pioneering and motivating agricultural enterprises with their initiative 'Voroshar New Window.' Siddique expressed hope that this project would instill trust in small-scale farmers.

The event featured speeches from Dr. Ahmed Khairul Hasan, a professor in the Agronomy Department at the Faculty of Agriculture in Bangladesh Agriculture University, and Mohsinur Rahman, leader of the SME Banking Department at UCB. Mohammad Alamgir, supervisor of the Sandwip Upazila division, delivered a warm address, adding to the diverse perspectives shared during the gathering.

A lineup of experienced speakers, including Ahamadul Haque, Mrinal Kanti Joarder, Umasha Umayun Moni Choudhury, and Chiraranjan Sarker, led the training sessions. These experts delved into topics such as marketing, management, banking, and financial aspects pertinent to agricultural businesses, addressing queries from the attending business owners.

Approximately 15,000 farmers from about 500 areas in the nation will undergo training as a component of this effort. Moreover, 50 areas in the country will be improved as 'model areas' to stimulate agricultural prosperity by providing modern machinery assistance to farmers.
