Chevron Bangladesh, in collaboration with iDE as a part of the Uddokta Phase-II intervention, recently hosted a Cattle and Product Basket Handover event near the Bibiyana Gas Plant in Habiganj.
During the event, product baskets were handed over to 60 female sales agents, making relevant health and hygiene products available at their doorsteps, said a press release.
Besides, 223 cattle were handed over to 22 VDO cooperatives, supporting the sustainability of these cooperatives under a new business model.
The introduction of cattle insurance was a new addition to make this business model more effective and captivating for the long run.
Beneficiaries exhibited their stalls with products such as fresh vegetables, livestock, agriculture inputs, machineries, and mini garments products. The private sector also showcased their services and products to facilitate market linkage and chain development.
