Local indigo goes global

Indigo, which reminds of an episode of cruelty during the British colonial rule, is being farmed once again and the famous blue has recently found its way to the US from Bangladesh.
Last month, one tonne of indigo dye was shipped to the US by Living Blue, a firm co-owned by Care Enterprise Inc and Nijera Cottage and Village Industries.
“This appears to be the largest recorded export of the indigo dye from Bangladesh to the world since the 1860s,” said Mishael Ahmad, manager of Living Blue.
