PANCHAGARH, BANGLADESH -- Farmer Moudud Hossain once scratched out a meager living growing potatoes, nuts and sugar cane until a switch to more lucrative tea leaves changed his fortunes.
Hossain's plot of emerald-green leaves stretches across 7 acres (around 3 hectares) in the far north of Bangladesh near neighboring India's famous Darjeeling region, a cornerstone of that country's success in the international tea trade.
