Sukher Khamar unveils design of Bangladesh’s first community-based agro resort

Bangladesh’s first community-based agro-tourism project, Sukher Khamar Agro Limited, has unveiled the design of its planned agro resort in Kahaloo, Bogura.

The design was unveiled at the 13th Asian Tourism Fair 2026 at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) in Dhaka on Friday. At the event, land purchase deeds were handed over to more than 150 project partners.

Singer and music director Milon Mahmud attended the event as chief guest. Sukher Khamar Agro Chairman Md Tasdikh Habib and Managing Director Jobayer Islam were also present.

The project will feature a 100-room agro resort with a restaurant, convention hall, swimming pool and boating facilities. The site will also include an integrated farm, a 400-cattle dairy farm, fish, goat and sheep farms, a 1-megawatt solar power plant, a biogas plant and a mosque with a Hafizia orphanage madrasa.

Earthwork and road construction have already been completed, while full-scale construction is scheduled to begin in October.

The project operates under a Sharia-based Musharaka model. More than 1,000 people from 21 countries and 42 districts have already joined as partners, with land registered in their names.

Chairman Tasdikh Habib said agro-tourism could help farmers receive better returns by allowing them to earn not only from crops but also from tourism experiences.

Managing Director Jobayer Islam said the project has already hosted more than 2,000 visitors and generated around Tk 1 crore in economic activity in Bagail village.

The company aims to establish eight Sukher Khamar Agro Villages across the country’s eight divisions by 2035. The project has already created direct employment for 41 people and helped 10 women become self-reliant.
