💧Some one brought 27 cows from Kalukhali in Rajbari to the Gabtoli cattle market in Dhaka. He was accompanied by four others, and they engaged in cattle trading specifically for Eid-ul-Azha. They buy the cows six to seven months in advance, rear them, and sell them now.
💧Cow owner said: “Many people in our area engage in cattle trading for Eid like I do. Many households also raise two to three cows to sell at the Eid market. This is a major source of income for us throughout the year. Buying several cows for Taka-100,000( one lac) and selling them after six months leaves us with a profit of Tk-25 to 30 thousand per cow after all expenses that is on average.

How the rural economy is increased
😄Another example from Kushtia has a small farm of his own. He brought 20 cows from his farm to the market in Hazaribagh, Dhaka. He has already sold 13 of them, with prices ranging from Tk1 (one) lakh to Taka 1.8( one lac eighty thourand) lakh each on an average.
😄Moreover, “Many small farms have sprung up in our area. These farms primarily rear cattle for Eid-ul-Azha. The financial condition of many families has improved.”
😄Eventually, another example one family brought three cows from Faridpur. He raised these cows specifically for sale during Eid-ul-Azha. Duration might target Eidul Azha before six/eight months.
😄He said: “Many people, like me, now rear cows to cover various expenses such as children’s weddings, education, or house repairs. There is less profit in goats, so interest in cows is increasing.”
😄It is estimated that 12 million cows, goats, and sheep are sacrificed this year -2024.
😄Apart from them another example farm owner, president of the Bangladesh Dairy Association and owner of Sadeq Agro, said: “There are 1.7 million small and large farms at different levels in the country, with 1.2 million being marginal farmers. About 10 million people are involved. This plays a significant role in the rural economy.”

💓He said: “Out of the annual demand for 12 million cows, perhaps 6 to-5.5 million are needed during Eid-ul-Azha. Consequently, the economy becomes more vibrant during this time. Transactions worth Taka near about 75,600 crore take place during Eid, with Tk68,000 crore being related to livestock.”
💓Even though the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, the lockdown was lifted before Eid-ul-Azha, considering the festival's economic impact.
💓The most significant aspect is that sacrificial animals at the grassroots level have now become almost like fixed deposits. Households and small farmers rear four to five cows and sell them in the Eid market. This generates substantial annual income, invigorating the rural economy.”
💓The quality of cattle, including cows, is good because they are reared with care. I must say that in the last 22 years, many more cows and buffalos have come from India, Myanmar, and Bhutan. Nowadays the situation almost changed. Bangladesh agriculture farm, Diary, Poultry, and fisheries growing up to the mark developed.
💓So, one thing must be said: economic growth, fulfillment of nutrition of meat, and food safety cover up no doubt.
