group raising chicks and ducks in Bangladesh
{"Image ImageDescription": "Six members of a producer group raising chicks and ducklings in Chunkuri Dakatia village, part of the Nobo Jatra USAID-funded program in Bangladesh.\n\nSUMMARY\nChicks and ducks lead to a new beginning for families in Bangladesh.\n\nNobo Jatra \u2013 a five-year development and food security program implemented by World Vision and funded by USAID \u2013 is helping men and women in the area start an unexpected new enterprise: Using an incubator to hatch baby chicks and ducks.\n\n\u201cWe feel proud to be the pioneers of these incubators,\u201d says Kallal Roy, a student in Chunkuri Dakatia village and a member of a six-person co-op in charge of an incubator. \u201cThis is a good opportunity to be first in the area.\u201d\n\nThe group raised money for the incubator, then underwent training on how to use it. They collect eggs from the community, paying about 12 cents per egg. Then, 21 days later (28 for ducks), they sell the day-old chicks for about 42 cents each. And it\u2019s working well: They\u2019re making money. The group is already getting orders from others in the community, and some local farm owners are contracting with them to get chickens. And best of all, this venture can be done year-round. Once their profits are big enough, the group hopes to buy a second incubator. \n\nRehana Begum, a local mother who\u2019s also a member of this incubator group, is excited about this new business: \u201cFrom this, we can have a handsome amount of money that we can use for our children\u2019s education.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe feeling was like a newborn baby came in the world \u2013 I felt the same when the eggs first hatched,\u201d she says.\n\n*** SEE ALSO D030-0863-STORY ***", "Image Make": "NIKON CORPORATION", "Image Model": "NIKON Z 6", "Image Orientation": "Horizontal (normal)", "Image XResolution": "300", "Image YResolution": "300", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic 8.2.1 (Macintosh)", "Image DateTime": "2019:04:17 15:07:07", "Image Artist": "Jon Warren", "Image Copyright": "\u00a92019 World Vision/photo by Jon Warren", "Image ExifOffset": "1966", "Thumbnail Compression": "JPEG (old-style)", "Thumbnail XResolution": "72", "Thumbnail YResolution": "72", "Thumbnail ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormat": "2750", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormatLength": "26875", "EXIF ExposureTime": "1/200", "EXIF FNumber": "28/5", "EXIF ExposureProgram": "Manual", "EXIF ISOSpeedRatings": "720", "EXIF SensitivityType": "Recommended Exposure Index", "EXIF RecommendedExposureIndex": "720", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0230", "EXIF DateTimeOriginal": "2019:01:11 14:12:58", "EXIF DateTimeDigitized": "2019:01:11 14:12:58", "EXIF ShutterSpeedValue": "477741/62500", "EXIF ApertureValue": "2485427/500000", "EXIF ExposureBiasValue": "-1/3", "EXIF MeteringMode": "Pattern", "EXIF LightSource": "Unknown", "EXIF Flash": "Flash did not fire", "EXIF FocalLength": "51/2", "EXIF SubSecTimeOriginal": "4", "EXIF SubSecTimeDigitized": "4", "EXIF ColorSpace": "sRGB", "EXIF FocalPlaneXResolution": "13787681/8192", "EXIF FocalPlaneYResolution": "13787681/8192", "EXIF FocalPlaneResolutionUnit": "3", "EXIF SensingMethod": "One-chip color area", "EXIF FileSource": "Digital Camera", "EXIF SceneType": "Directly Photographed", "EXIF CVAPattern": "[2, 0, 2, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2]", "EXIF CustomRendered": "Custom", "EXIF ExposureMode": "Manual Exposure", "EXIF WhiteBalance": "Auto", "EXIF FocalLengthIn35mmFilm": "25", "EXIF SceneCaptureType": "Standard", "EXIF GainControl": "None", "EXIF Contrast": "Normal", "EXIF Saturation": "Normal", "EXIF Sharpness": "Normal", "EXIF SubjectDistanceRange": "0", "EXIF BodySerialNumber": "3007068", "EXIF LensSpecification": "[24, 70, 4, 4]", "EXIF LensMake": "NIKON", "EXIF LensModel": "NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S", "EXIF LensSerialNumber": "20038458"}
