Peanuts, like lentils and peas, are grown in pods underground. Rangpur's largest peanut market is almost never located on the same spot two years in a row due to shifting floods of the Brahmaputra river in Kurigram's Chilmari upazila. The market is always set up next to a boat base that moves every year depending on the river's level; this year, both were set up in Faluar Char owing to low water levels.The symbiotic enterprises were established in Jorgachh Char last year. Local farmers told The Daily Star that setting up the market with the boat base each year benefits them significantly since it makes it easy for wholesalers from all over the country to come buy their produce at reasonable costs.
