Buy both toxic, non-toxic  vegetables from farmers  but sell as organic ones  for good profit
 
With the early morning mist still hovering,  traders head for the markets with cauliflowers they bought from farmers.  The photo was shot from Manda on the edge of the capital recently.Farmers in many parts of the country are producing vegetables without  using chemical pesticides but their toxicity-free produce is getting  mixed with toxic vegetables in the absence of proper marketing  facilities.
Traders buy both toxicity-free and toxic vegetables,  load those in trucks without differentiating between the two types and  take those to markets, say field reports received from some major  vegetable-growing districts.
A large number of farmers are growing  toxicity-free vegetables and fruits by applying Integrated Pest  Management (IPM) methods like  pheromone trap instead of chemical  pesticides but they are facing an acute problem of marketing their  produce separately.
Pheromone trap is a device that uses  pheromones to lure insects to get trapped in it so that farmers can save  their crop from pest attacks.
 A number of farmers said had there  been separate markets for toxic free vegetables, consumers would have  shown more interest in buying those. And this would encourage more and  more farmers to go for producing toxic-free vegetables instead of toxic  ones. 
There should be specific corners in markets including those in Dhaka for sale of the safe vegetables, they said.
Asked,  agriculture officials in the areas with increasing use of IPM methods  echoed the farmers' views about marketing their produce separately, and  said this would enable consumers to buy those without worrying about  heath hazards.
Nazmul Islam, a farmer at Belabo in Narsingdi, who  has been using pheromone trap and some other IPM methods for the last  five years, told this correspondent, "I feel bad when I see my produce  is mixed with toxic ones. My efforts become meaningless."
Torikul  Islam, a farmer in Jessore, said he opted for vegetable cultivation by  using pheromone trap a decade ago when he came to know about the health  hazards of using chemical pesticides. "I did it to ensure good health of  my family members and those who purchase my produce," he said over the  phone. 
The number of farmers using IPM has increased over the  years. But many are yet to go for it although it costs less than using  pesticides. IPM practice however requires more time and care. 
Cultivation  of vegetables by using pesticides gives higher output and the produce  looks better than those produced without using toxic substances. And  this might encourage many to go for it, said Torikul.
Meanwhile,  the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry in  association with traders have opened four formalin-free fish markets in  the capital in the face of growing worries about health hazards due the  use of toxic substances in foods.
But ensuring availability of toxicity-free vegetables and fruits to consumers has so far got little attention. 
Only  a handful of private sector firms such as Fresh and Safe Agro Ltd  (FASAL) and online shopping portal -- amardesheshop.com --by Future  Solution Business (FSB) are buying and supplying toxicity-free  vegetables to consumers in the capital. 
Some superstores such as Agora and Meena Bazar have also taken initiative to collect and supply toxicity-free vegetables. 
These initiatives, however, are far from enough to enable farmers to sell all their safe vegetables.
  Nazmul and some other farmers said they supply a specified quantity of  vegetables to FSB. They have to go to nearby markets to sell the rest of  their produce.  
Agriculture officials say the number of farmers  using IPM is growing due to the agriculture ministry's decade-long  efforts to motivate farmers to cut use of chemical pesticides hazardous  to health. The initiative was taken as rampant use of chemical  pesticides for commercial cultivation of vegetables and fruits led to  growing worries among people about health risks. 
They mentioned that preservatives and dyes are being used by traders to retain natural colour of vegetables such as tomato.    
Asked  about proper marketing of safe vegetables, Hemayet Hossain, deputy  director of the Department of Agriculture Extension, Jessore, said, "We  are trying to establish market linkage." 
Mitul Kumar Saha,  assistant general manager of Hortex Foundation, said their organisation  has established 12 marketing and collection centres of toxicity-free  vegetables and fruits. 
Traders purchase those from these centres but the foundation is yet to devise any mechanism to reach those to consumers.
Sharmin  Hossain, chairman of FASAL, said there are demands from customers for  safe vegetables. Buy his company cannot meet that fully because it has  only six outlets in the capital.
