I reviewed a liquor store. Different types of Betel quid are sold here. When they are sold, they are made very tasty by mixing various ingredients. There are over a hundred sweet ingredients with which this Betel quid is made. Which makes it very sweet to eat and people are very interested in eating it.

Tell us the challenges people are facing in this occupation

This profession is very unique and very rare. Importing and storing the materials involved in this business is particularly risky. In particular, there are some addictive substances with which this product is made. Also, the sweet ingredients and other necessary ingredients here are not very widely available. Also, the green love-shaped leaves you see here are very difficult to preserve. Since it cannot be stored for a long time, there are several things to be handled when selling them. They can be stored for a maximum of one week to 15 days, after which they may spoil. Because of this, those engaged in this system or profession have to struggle a bit to cope with them.

Share with us how this occupation supports the local economy and families in your community.

This profession is created in a very unique way and a family is run by selling the materials that are sold here. Although not much is sold here, the shopkeeper or the family may be able to support themselves by selling the products that are sold. Of all the products sold here, the highest priced product is only 50 taka. In addition, many other products are sold here, priced from 10 taka to 50 taka. A family is supported by the amount of sweet betel sold daily. There are many other professions through which people earn their living and through which they conduct a praise. In addition, these materials are sold separately, which are measured and sold at a fixed price.
