RANGPUR, May 4, 2025 (BSS) - The Krishi Bazar Ltd mobile app has been 
inaugurated in Rangpur city aiming at building a healthy nation by producing 
safe agricultural products, including vegetables, and delivering those to 
consumers at fair prices. 
 
The Krishi Bazar mobile app is an online platform that acts as a digital 
marketplace for agricultural products allowing farmers to sell their produce 
and consumers to buy those across the country. 
 
Deputy Director of the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) Md Sirajul 
Islam inaugurated the app in a colorful function held at the Public Library 
ground in the city on Sunday. 
 
The Krishi Bazar Limited with the support of the Nutrition in City Ecosystems 
(NICE) project of Sustainable Agriculture Foundation and Eco-Social 
Development Organization (ESDO) organised the function.
 
NICE project Manager Moshfequl Alam Talukder, Medical Officer at the Civil 
Surgeon's Office Dr. Md. Akhtarruzzaman Shuvo and Krishi Bazar Limited 
Chairman Gausul Azam Tutul addressed the event. 
 
Safe vegetable producer agricultural entrepreneurs Abul Kalam Azad, Abdur 
Rashid and Arun Kumar Roy also spoke.
 
The speakers said that the Krishi Bazar app has been launched to deliver safe 
vegetables to consumers at fair prices. Through this app, a consumer can 
order vegetables from home. 
 
Along with this, safe vegetables are being sold through 24 rickshaw vans at 
different points in all 33 wards of Rangpur city on the initiative of some 
NGOs. 
 
The DAE Deputy Director Sirajul Islam said, "In our busy lives, we all always 
want safe products. Contract farmers of the Krishi Bazar Ltd produce safe 
vegetables and sell them to consumers through the app and van to ensure our 
safe food and nutrition."
 
"Besides, farmers are also getting fair prices for their crops. The DAE will 
continue to work with all stakeholders concerned to spread this model 
throughout the district," he said. 
 
Gawsul Azam Tutul said, "We have 50 farmer leaders on a contractual basis. 
They arrange for safe vegetable production, training and sale using mobile 
vans through other farmers."
 
"In the future, consumers will be able to see how much fertilizer has been 
added to the vegetables purchased through the app and how they were 
produced," he said.
 
Talking to BSS after the inaugural function, consumers Abdur Rahman, Abdul 
Hye, Lubna Ahmed, Aklima Khatun, Ferdousi Ara Mahmuda and Mansur Ahmed 
welcomed this initiative of the Krishi Bazar Ltd to provide safe vegetables 
at affordable prices.
