The Flower Business - Barison Begum is the first woman micro-entrepreneur.
Barison Begum is the first woman micro-entrepreneur in the field of floriculture in Patuapara, Jhikorgacha village, Jessore.
Why do you consider yourself to be a successful micro-entrepreneur?
There was once a time when I used to live in a little hut with my husband and five children. At that time we used to rely on the earnings from a small shop to feed a family of seven. All I could think of then was about how to increase our income. After seeing Sher Ali selling his flowers and making money, I decided to be a floriculturist. In 1999 my husband and I started growing flowers with tuberose seeds from Calcutta on 2 acres of land. I did well in my first year. Now we live in a much better house and have more disposable income. I am now responsible for feeding the families of all 60 of my workers and I have successfully raised the living standard of my family. I guess in general all that would make me a successful micro-entrepreneur.
The demand of flowers is high in the local and international markets. Flowers are used for decorating in all kinds on events, special days and celebrations. This causes a high market price. Floriculture is a very profitable business and I wish to expand. I do consider my business durable.
