<i>A good prospect!</i>
Bengalees are famous for their hospitality. Hospitality is the indicator of aristocracy and nobility. Betel leaf is part of that hospitality. In some cases, without this attachment the satisfaction of consumption often remains incomplete. Moreover, people also entertain the guests only with 'khili paan' which is known as 'entertaining in brief' in rural areas. Not only in the rural areas but also after the ending of sumptuous session in urban areas the application of betel leaf is worth mentioning. The enthusiasts of betel leaf use not only the traditional betel nut but also many spicy ingredients in taking betel leaf.
However, in Sylhet there is abundance of Khashia betel leaf. This type of betel leaf has high demand countrywide as well as worldwide. The main drawback of this cultivation is that, in Bangladesh only the 'Khashia' tribe is producing this type of betel leaf. So if proactive measures are taken in this matter, its production can be boosted.
