The Region:

In Bangladesh, the production of agarwood
started about 400 years ago in the Suzanagar union under Barolekha Upazila of Moulvibazar
District, in Sylhet (the most North-East Division of Bangladesh). Initially, agarwood was
produced solely from forest-based agarwood, but due to the limited access to forest-based
agarwood, people started to cultivate agarwood in household lands, which was however of lower
quality than the much older forest-based agarwood. As a result, finding best quality agarwood
became a time consuming process. Despite the long history, the agarwood sector of Bangladesh
does not flourish. This is due to a few policy anomalies and some other constraints.

At the Delhi Durbar on 12 December 1911, King George V announced the reunification of a Bengal Province and the creation of an Assam Province. During this time, the Sylhet region was split into four mahakumas (or subdivisions); Sylhet (including Moulvibazar), Habiganj, Sunamganj and Karimganj. In 1882, the Sylhet Mahakuma was split into two; Sylhet and South Sylhet. On 18 May 1940, one of the five thanas of the Karimganj Mahakuma, Jolodhup, was planned to also be split into two - Beanibazar and Barlekha. Beanibazar went to Sylhet Mahakuma while Barlekha went to South Sylhet Mahakuma. On 1 July 1983, Barlekha Thana was upgraded into an upazila.

There are 18 tea gardens in Barlekha, most of which were established by the English tea planters during the time of British Raj. Each garden has its own tea-processing factory. Tea laborers who work in the gardens were brought in the 1800s from outside of Bengal. Sujanagar of this upazila is known for producing incense and attar (essence of flowers and Agar tree). For over a century, these have found markets in Middle Eastern and Far Eastern countries. There are about 350-400 agar attar factories in Barlekha. Agar attar is considered as liquid gold of Bangladesh. About 2000 litres of agar attar is produced in Barlekha every year. Cottage industries include weaving, bamboo and cane work, iron work, and potteries are other works of Barlekha. The beautiful Madhabkunda waterfall is one of the most well-known tourist attractions in the country..
