Good news includes the restriction of livestock markets within Dhaka city, but this makes the process more difficult. Online marketplaces are booming as an attempt to fill the void with a safer, more secured experience. And with Anhad Agro, amongst others, the hope of a pandemic-approved Qurbani may have finally been answered.
Anhad Agro is a passion project by a young Bangladeshi Barrister, named Nirjhar Noor Anwar. The concept is simple, for they rear cattle with a particular focus on the health and comfort of the cows. Full-spectrum vaccination, fans, floor mats, balanced rations according to the bodyweight, green grass diet etc are all part of the caring process. Enough research is present to link the co-relation between a happy cow and a great taste, approving their methods for customer satisfaction. With the product in check, the service is where things get more promising.
All cattle are showcased in detail on their social media pages and sites. As a customer, you simply sit back and scroll through till you find the animal your heart desires. Prices are kept at affordable rates, with some “showstopper” choices above 900 kilograms! Inbox them your details, make payments through secured channels and your cattle is booked! And no, you don’t’ have to leave home.
On the day of Eid, if your list of names are provided, they will carry out the sacrificial process with you live on the phone, respecting the religious requirements and your personal recommendations. The cattle is then packaged and labelled by cut, ready to be delivered to your doorstep for your personal needs and zakat distributions! If you even want to take it a step further, the distribution act can be outsourced to Anhad Agro as well, showing you the deed on camera as they cater. Accurate to the amount and calculations you provide. Their tagline "Have Organic, Save Life" feels appropriate considering this fact.
This Eid-from-home this is indeed a different approach. For more information, you may check out their Facebook page by simply searching Anhad Agro.
