Industry and Commerce

Jhalakathi's economy is enriched by its river ports. Jhalakathi is a famous river port. People from remote areas travel here constantly. 

Therefore, several small industries have developed here. Salt desalination industry is one of these industries, private sector based industries have been developed in Jhalakathi in large scale.

 Crude salt produced from the salty waters of the Bay of Bengal is supplied to the salt industry of Jhalkathi by the sailors of Chittagong's sampan.

Here, unrefined salt is brought from Chittagong and refined to meet the needs of many districts of Bengal. 

This salt is supplied to Khulna, Madaripur, Satkhira, Chalna Jessore, Bagerhat and Gopalganj in addition to the whole of South Bengal. 
This industry is increasing the income of the economy of Chittagong, Chadpur and Jhalkathi. On the other hand, the unemployed have been given employment. 

Jhalakathi's handloom industry occupies an important place in the economy.

Several people in Jhalkathi are making a living from it. Lungi, towel and saree are the main products of this cotton. 
Even today Jhalkathi Tatit's towels are especially appreciated in the capital Dhaka.
 Another major contribution to cottage industry, Shitalpati has occupied a large place among the manufactured goods.
 People from far and wide come to Jhalkathi during summer to buy Shitalpati. 
Those who make rugs are called Patikars. Rice occupies an important place in the trade of Jhalkathi.
 Earlier many paddy mills existed here to carry on the rice business at a healthy rate. Even today, rice is the mainstay of business here. 
Artidari business occupies an important place in Jhalakathi's business courtyard.

Towel art


The weaving industry of Jhalkathi district, especially towels, has a reputation in the whole country. 
This towel industry is located in the villages on the western side of the flowing Basanda river near Jhalkathi city. 
This industry was famous in different areas of Jhalkathi district and Rajapur upazila under this district for approximately one and a half to two hundred years.
 The weaving industry of Jhalkathi district was famous in the whole country especially for towels. Yarn is the main material of this industry. 
Therefore, due to increase in the price of yarn and insufficient supply, the families involved in this ship are unable to meet the demand despite the demand for their products due to lack of capital. 
Once upon a time there were about 350/400 weaving families in the entire area in the villages on the western side of the flowing Basanda river near Jhalkathi town. 
At present, except for a few houses, almost everyone has been forced to go to other professions. 
Almost the same problem of the weaving families of Angaria including Algi, Kaivarttakhali of Rajapur.
 Just 10 to 15 years ago, the women of these families used to make velvet sarees, hajar booti sarees, jhapasaris, towels, lungis, mosquito nets and even chadars.

Pottery

We know that low capital and small scale industries are cottage industries which can be prepared sitting at cottages. 
The economic problems of the people of rural Bengal are related to this cottage industry. 
Once upon a time Jhalakathi district was famous for its pottery but nowadays the pottery has disappeared due to the large production and use of aluminum, 
china clay, melamine and especially silver cooking pots. It is said that this pottery industry has been going on for about two to two and a half hundred years.
 It is known that there were days in the past when the people of the village used this clay for daily use such as hari kara, sara, basan malsa etc. 
But today almost everything is a new form in the changing world. It has come back to people in a new way. Today, not only the villages of Bengal
 but also the educated society of the cities use earthenware. But it is strange. Now in keeping with the change in people's taste, they are trying to make pottery interesting with new forms. 
These items are earthen banks, colored horses, dolls of different colors, different types of birds, beautiful flower tubs with flower pots, boats, etc.

Salt industry

It is known that betel cultivation in these areas of Rajapur upazila has been going on for a long time. 
Betel cultivation has a history of approximately one to one and a half hundred years. Pan means tambul.
 About which is written in the only literature of the Madhya Yuga in the poem named Sri Krishna Kirtan. 
Tambul (drinking) is mentioned in the Tambul section of this poem. Shri Krishna was impressed by Radha's form and sent paan to Radha through Braai.
 From this it is proved that the bridge of love between Pan women and men has been bonded throughout the ages.
 Even today in rural Bengal the only means of entertaining a guest is a chile. Not only that, house to house betel leaf decoration competition is held in Bengal.
 The feeling of love is expressed by a cup of tea.
