The age-old “Dholon” system in mango trading—where farmers lost out due to extra, unpaid weight—has been abolished in Rajshahi, Natore, Naogaon, and Chapainawabganj. Following a divisional meeting, a new commission-based system was introduced, allowing wholesalers to charge Tk 1.50 per kilogram. The change aims to ensure fair pricing and reduce market disorder. While some farmers remain frustrated, most agreed to the compromise. The decision came after repeated clashes among growers, traders, and officials over outdated practices.

Commission Replaces Traditional ‘Dholon’ System in Mango Trade

Rajshahi, Natore, Naogaon, and Chapainawabganj: The traditional "Dholon" system in mango trading has officially been discontinued this season. Instead, a fixed commission system has been introduced. Under the new arrangement, wholesalers (aratdars) can now charge a commission of Tk 1.50 per kilogram, which amounts to Tk 60 per maund.
