Vegetable farming has recently begun on the sandy dunes near Kabita Chattar in Cox’s Bazar, a remarkable display of innovation. Crops such as radishes, cucumbers, cauliflowers, and tomatoes thrive in this previously barren area, creating a promising example of agricultural advancement in challenging environments.
Modern agricultural techniques and technology have transformed the once unsuitable sandy stretch of Kabita Chattar for farming. Local farmers have successfully cultivated vegetables here, significantly improving their livelihoods.
Agriculture experts emphasize that sandy coastal soil can be fertile with proper care and techniques. This venture’s success has boosted the local farming community and demonstrated the untapped potential of coastal land for agriculture.
Furthermore, this initiative creates new opportunities for the region’s tourism sector. The sight of thriving vegetable fields on the seashore adds a unique charm to the area, promoting agricultural and tourism growth.
This project at Kabita Chattar marks the beginning of a new chapter for Cox’s Bazar, showcasing a sustainable model for merging environmental conservation with agricultural and economic development.
