The Dhaka Times Desk Did anyone ever think that the price of pineapple can be so high? But that's exactly what happened this time. One hundred thousand rupees price of a pineapple!
Pineapple is known and demanded worldwide as a delicious and nutritious fruit. This fruit is rich in vitamin C as well as minerals like manganese and potassium.
In almost all the fruit shops of our country, pineapples are sold whole and cut on the side of the road. However, the price of a whole pineapple can be the highest in the country's market? 100 rupees? Or 200 rupees? However, the cultivation of a special type of pineapple in Cornwall, England, costs 100 million taka.
As unbelievable as it may sound, the fact is true. In Cornwall, England, there is an orchard called Heligan, where this pineapple is grown in a special way. The pineapple is named Heligan after the garden.
To buy pineapples grown in the garden, you need to count at least 1 thousand pounds for each one, which is more than 1 lakh 27 thousand rupees in Bangladeshi currency. It is reported that the second pineapple produced in this garden was given as a gift to the late Queen Elizabeth II of Britain.
There is also a website for this high priced fruit. It is said that this pineapple was brought to UK in 1819. After some time, horticulturists realized that pineapple cultivation is not possible in cold weather. So they keep looking for alternative ways.
The people in charge of the garden told the media that pineapples are cultivated here in an ancient method of about 200 years. But these cultivated pineapples are never sold in the conventional way.
The pineapples from this garden are auctioned after harvesting. In the auction, each pineapple is sold for more than 1 lakh rupees. Even sometimes the price of a pineapple reaches 12 lakh taka.
