Doctor, nurse shortage strains Pirojpur hospital (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pirojpur Sadar Hospital is struggling to provide adequate healthcare services due to an acute shortage of doctors, nurses and other staff. The government-run facility was upgraded from a 100-bed to a 250-bed hospital in 2017, but it has yet to operate at full capacity due to inadequate manpower and logistics. An 11-storey hospital building is being constructed as part of the capacity expansion. Construction of eight floors has been completed so far, while the ground floor is now being used for t
Picked too soon: The dilemma facing Pirojpur’s hog plum growers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Though the peak season for harvesting hog plums is still more than a month away, small-scale growers in Pirojpur have already begun selling the immature fruit, fearing losses from birds, theft and waterlogging. The decision comes at a cost. A maund (37.3kg) of hog plums currently sells for Tk 750-800 in wholesale markets, but traders expect the price to rise to around Tk 2,000 once the fruits mature in September. Hog plum harvesting usually begins in early September and continues for about three
Guava season turns Pirojpur orchards into floating tourist trail (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Guava season has turned Pirojpur's Nesarabad upazila and neighbouring Jhalakathi Sadar into a seasonal tourist destination, with floating markets and canal-side orchards drawing visitors from across the country.

Read excerpt
Long before the rest of Dubi village wakes up, Moyna Baidya and her husband, Adhir Bairagi, are already at work. They begin by feeding sawdust into a 40-square-foot furnace, checking the large iron pans and preparing for a process that has barely changed in more than five decades. By sunrise, they are already hours into a shift that will keep them beside the fire until well past noon. Working with four furnaces in two batches, the couple can produce up to 30 maunds, about 1.2 tonnes, salt each d
Guava growers cash in on supply crunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Guava farmers in Pirojpur's Nesarabad upazila and neighbouring Jhalakathi Sadar upazila are enjoying record prices this season after production fell to what growers describe as the lowest level in recent memory. In a normal year, guavas sell for around Tk 800 per maund at the start of the season before falling to Tk 400 or lower once harvesting peaks. This year, farmers say, prices have stayed unusually high throughout the peak harvest, which began roughly three weeks ago, with premium-grade fru
