Patuakhali/Package/Traditional Pottery is being sold in reputed expensive showrooms of the country. Crossing the border of the country is also being exported abroad

 The traditional pottery industry, which is getting lost in the course of time, is being exported across the borders of the country. The potters of Patuakhali are still clinging to the lineage. But due to non-availability of government support and increase in the price of various materials, the artisans and employees involved in the industry are facing various problems. The official of BIC has assured all the cooperation of the government.

If the government would have asked for us, then we could have taken the factory as a big project. That plastic body does nothing good. Various diseases in the body are also caused by this plastic. Soil is such a thing. Clay products are the biggest thing. There is no harm but benefit if you eat rice from the soil. As many factories as we have, we are making an increase in goods in the coming months. Along with the business I have a factory, I also spend time in the shop and spend time in the factory.

Businessman Kamal Pal.

We have 50 to 60 families here. Our products are exported abroad. But we give officially. We can't benefit like that because we can't pay directly. If the government takes our goods, we can benefit. Earlier we used to make sails now different castes have indulged they also do this.

Female workers are more than male workers. With the money earned from here, the workers run the family as well as bear the children's education expenses.

And the aesthetic and beautiful earthen products made by their skillful hands have settled in 24 countries including Italy, Australia, Canada, France, Denmark, UK, America, Spain and Japan.

With the passage of time, as old things are not appreciated in the market, now they make modern things. And even though there is a huge demand for it abroad, they are not able to expand the scope of business due to lack of government patronage. However, this BIC official has assured cooperation.
