ACI Fertilizer participated in Tea Expo 2018 organized by the Ministry of Commerce and Bangladesh Tea Board. Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the three-day expo (18-20 February 2018) in International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB), Dhaka. The concept of Bangladesh Tea Expo was to create a national platform to exhibit and uphold the tea industry of Bangladesh among the tea connoisseurs of the country and beyond. The core aspects of Bangladesh Tea Expo 2018 were to promote and showcase the diversification of both tea and tea products and to explore the bridge that brings the tea garden's blenders and stakeholders together under the same roof along with each of their unique culture. Another objective of this event was to portray eco-tourism within the homeland.
Just like other plants, Tea plant and its growth is highly dependent on soil fertility and proper nurturing materials during its growth stage. In this aspect, ACI Fertilizer plays an influential role as it has the effective products and facilities needed for both the soil and tea plant. Tea gardens have been using organic fertilizers for last couple of years. There is also good opportunity for some products, i.e. NPKS balanced fertilizer for soil to meet the need of macronutrients (N, P, K, and S), micronutrients (zinc, magnesium sulphate, boron, etc.), NEB to reduce the usage of Urea and during the growth stage, Bioferti and Vitamix are effective in terms of foliar application. A variety of visitors visited the ACI Fertilizer stall at the Tea Expo. Representatives from ACI Fertilizer helped the visitors to get a better view of ACI Fertilizer’s activities, products and impact in tea sector as well as in agribusiness.
