The ongoing three-day ‘National Fruit Fair-2022’ has been extended by two more days due to inclement weather.

Following extension of the time period, the last day of the fair is Monday (June 20), a press release said Saturday. 

With the theme ‘Year-long Fruit Cultivation brings both Money and Nutrition,’ the fair, organized by the Agriculture Ministry, is being held in Khamarbari area of the city. 

National Fruit Fair will play a positive role for the new generation by giving them a better idea about the various seasonal fruits that are produced in the country. Recently Agriculture Minister Abdur Razzaque said that there has been an 11.5 percent annual rise in fruit production in Bangladesh, recording the world's fastest increase in fruit production.
