Floating Guava Market in Barishal on August 8, 2023. Among some of the most fascinating things in the Southwestern region of Bangladesh is the beautiful Floating Guava Market of Swarupkathi of Pirojpur in Barishal Division. The guava was a culinary hit with the locality and its fame gradually spread across the country. Today guava is cultivated in five unions of Swarupkathi (presently known as Nesarabad) across 640 hectares of land. Every day, thousand of tons of guavas are supplied all across the country. Boats are the main transportation for supplying. Farmers carry the guavas onto the boats from the river-adjacent orchards. There are hundreds of boats filled with guava and all the trades occur on boats. The floating market appears as the centre of Barishal. (Photo by Mustasinur Rahman Alvi/Rex Features/Shutterstock)
