Gabura Bazar in Dinajpur Sadar, the largest wholesale tomato market in northern region, supplies 150–200 tonnes of tomatoes daily to districts across the country. Located about 4.5 kilometers from the district town on the banks of the Garbheshwari River, Gabura Bazar has earned nationwide recognition as the leading wholesale tomato hub in the northern region. During a recent visit, farmers said tomatoes are harvested fresh from the fields each morning and transported directly to the wholesale market. Sirajul Hasan, Director of the Dinajpur Horticulture Department, described Gabura Bazar as a “Tomato Kingdom,” where the wholesale market appears covered in red produce every day. Md Abdul Jalil, President of the Gabura Tomato Wholesale Market Wholesalers Association, said 25 to 30 truckloads of tomatoes leave the market daily for destinations across the country.
