Standard Chartered Bangladesh has partnered with Khulna Mukti Seba Sangstha (KMSS) to promote entrepreneurship among 1,200 marginalised female farmers in Jashore through high-value flower cultivation.

The initiative will support the development of environmentally conscious floriculture practices by setting up 11 protective flower sheds and providing access to essential cultivation tools.

Beneficiaries will receive training on post-harvest flower processing, product diversification, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship.
