Assalamualaikum. What's up good peoples. Hope everyone on this beautiful site having great day. I am also well by the grace of Almighty Allah.
Today I want to let you know about a popular and famous Traded of our Sirajganj District. This called Lungi cloth business (কাপড়ের ব্যবসা).Huge cloth markets were organized for this cloth trade at Belkuchi and Enayetpur in Sirajganj. This lungi cloth market is held three days a week. These three days of the week are Sunday, Monday and Thursday.
About 95 percent of the cloth shops are wholesale shops. A complete piece of cloth is called a than. There are four pieces of lungi in one than of lungi cloth, retail buyers have to buy only one lungi for 200 taka. And in this wholesale market, Lungi is bought and sold as than The wholesale price of one than lungi cloth is 600 to 700 Taka and The price of lungi is less or more depending on the fabric.
Those who sell lungi cloth Scilicet those who are cloth merchants buying these lungi cloths from weavers 10-20% lower price from theire selling rate.This means that they earn 10-20 taka per than of cloth. Another thing is that clothes are sold here in bundles, where each bundle contains 10-20 than of cloth. At three emporium every week, a big trader sells at least 90 to 100 bundles of clothes and that are contains 1100 to 1500 than of cloth.
Now the thing is, my own great uncle has been involved in this business for 12-13 years from today. He is now an grand businessman. To it calculate He earns 30 to 40 thousand taka per hat.
I have come to help my uncle's business since he broke his leg in an accident 6 months ago. Like every Monday, I have to wake up at five o'clock in the morning, freshen up and put my uncle on the back of the motorcycle and going Belkuchi Kaporer Hat.
The market has to be open from 3 pm to 8 pm on Sunday.
Traders sit in the warehouses with the goods and buyers will have to come the warehouses to choosing the goods and buying.Most of the buyers come from Shahjadpur, Dhaka's Narsingdi, Chittagong, Kushtia and other places.
Again, the buyers will buy the clothes and process them in a processing mill and sell them piece by piece. Thus again they earn more than us.
What I realized after coming here is that this business is very profitable and a very pleasant business. This cloth business is done in only a few places in the country. The largest cloth market in the country is at Belkuchi in Sirajganj. The funny thing is that even though I am a student like my friends, I have learned a lot of business. Feeling very good to share with you the beautiful Phenomena of my life.
The pictures are on Sunday afternoon.
