The Bangladesh Navy provided about four acres of land to OBAT to create employment opportunities for the Rohingya refugees settled in Bhasan Char. The land is being utilized for cultivation of crops. Two types of vegetables are being planted and grown in this land. Some such as gourds grow horizontally, while others such as okra and eggplant grow vertically.
Volunteers from the Rohingya community are piloting this cultivation system and also preparing quick compost made out of sawmill dust, oilcakes and poultry drops. Once the cultivation system is piloted, it will benefit 1,000 Rohingya women and enable them to cultivate vegetables to earn an income.
