Alam began to export fruit saplings to Qatar in 2019, and soon also to the UAE and Oman. “Since 2019, I have exported around 150,000 saplings to UAE, Qatar, and Oman,” he told Arab News. This year, Alam is focusing on mango trees and has already prepared several varieties at his Green World Nursery. “Dubai ordered some Bangladeshi mango saplings from me. I have prepared 400 mango saplings with seven varieties of Bangladeshi mangoes, and these plants are ready now,” he said.
