Every Wednesday, Sonarpara Bazar in Ukhia transforms into a bustling hub for the areca palm trade, earning its reputation as the largest market in Cox’s Bazar. Visiting the market, one can witness a vibrant scene with orchard owners, wholesale traders, and retailers converging in large numbers. The harvest and sales have satisfied both orchard owners and wholesale traders. Cox’s Bazar Life Photojournalist Hussain Shetu captured these photos last Wednesday.
