The primary market of mangoes in Bangladesh lies in the north of Rajshahi. Over the past few years, mango businesses for farmers in the north have been thriving over the digital sphere.
To help the community of mango farmers and businessmen reach greater heights, Grameenphone is empowering the mango farmers from the northern zone, enabling them to sell mangoes using F-commerce and optimum digital integration.
Sajjad Hasib, CMO of Grameenphone, said: “Now online marketplaces are minimising the middleman and maximising profit for the mango growers’ communities at the grassroots level.”
