Standard Chartered Bangladesh has partnered with Thengamara Mohila Sabuj Sangha (TMSS) to facilitate 11,000 farmers in adopting polyhouse farming across Bogura, Joypurhat, Sirajganj, Natore, Pabna, and Rajshahi. This initiative aims to introduce an eco-friendly agricultural practice that allows for year-round cultivation, independent of external conditions. The collaboration will provide resources for polyhouse development and training to enhance crop yield and quality, thus fostering income generation. The project's goal is to establish polyhouse farming structures for the cultivation of high-value vegetables and fruits, thereby empowering farmers to overcome climate challenges and economic uncertainty. Professor Dr. Hosne-Ara Begum, Founder of TMSS, emphasized the project's aim to enhance high-value crop farming in drought-prone areas through modern farming methods, thereby improving the economic condition of farmers.
