Tonmoy Dash

Tonmoy Dash The biggest peanut market in Rangpur is almost never found on same spot two years in a row due to the changing waters of Brahmaputra river in Chilmari upazila of Kurigram. The market is always established next to a boat base that also changes location each year based on the river's height and due to low water levels this year, both were set up in Faluar Char. Last year, the symbiotic businesses were set up in Jorgachh Char. Local farmers told The Daily Star that they benefit greatly by setting up the market with the boat base each year, making it easier for wholesalers from different parts of the country to come buy their produce at fair prices.
