He bought more cows one after one after making profit. Following the quick profit, he took a bank loan and set up a household diary firm in 2010. Now he has a total of 250 cows in his diary including milk producing and rearing cows for meat.
He cultivated grass on around several acres of land for grazing his cows. Milk collectors get milk from his diary at Tk 46 to 57 per litre.
Along with cattle rearing and milk producing, he opened a sweet factory.
Sometimes, he has to face loss as the businessmen could want to buy milk.
Following his diary firm, many unemployed youths from different villages have started diary firm at their house, he added.

They suggested to rear one or two cows with little cost and quick profit. Milk cooperative can solve their customer’s shortage, the officer added.
