Bibi Rahima, a resident of Dorbeshpur village under Kadirhanif union in Noakhali Sadar upazila, started her journey by collecting 10 duck eggs from a neighbor and hatching them under a native hen. Over the span of about 23 years, she has established a 16-acre integrated agricultural farm by leasing land from different individuals. Located about five kilometers from the district town of Maizdi, the farm includes fish enclosures, cattle, goats, ducks, chickens, vegetables, and fruit orchards.
Driven by the desire to support her family alongside her husband during times of hardship, her livestock grew gradually as she sold eggs to buy a goat and later calves. Currently, her farm houses 8 cows, 13-14 goats, over 500 ducks, 350 native chickens, and various fish including rui, katla, tilapia, and pangas.
Rahima is assisted in her farm work by her husband and children, along with four to five regular workers. Instead of relying on the market, she produces duck and chicken chicks as well as seedlings from seeds on her own farm.
