Read the following passage and answer question No. 1

For the last 10/15 years many educated Bangladeshi youths disillusioned with fading job prospects have been seen going back to
their native villages. They are found trying their luck in farming --- not the traditional crops but unconventional ones like exotic fruits.
The scene, however, is not too unique to make the villagers feel utterly surprised. In fact, the spectacle of youths having rural
background engaging in non-traditional farming in the country is not an unusual spectacle. Earlier, they showed the way to the revival
of many native fruits considered long extinct.
The youths taking increasing interest in agricultural activities mark a break with the Bangladesh of the past. In the earlier days, they
owned small paddy fields and cultivated those with entrepreneurial zeal. Those scenes demonstrated their keen interest in agriculture
in general, with some of them extending their farming to the area of vegetables. It is these very youths who are nowadays proving their
excellence in growing fruits not indigenous to this country. Thanks to the exorbitant cost in cultivating foreign fruits and the expenses
required for nursing the trees and plants, the price of these fruits were formidably high after they were first brought to the city
markets. Except a minuscule number of urban rich, the average big-city people remained lukewarm about the Bangladesh-grown
foreign fruits.
Thanks to the eventual involvement of professional farmers in fruit cultivation and the faint signs of profits from their sales, leading to
their abundant supply and price fall, the middle-class people turned to the fruits. All these fruits are nutritious and highly protein-rich.
Surprisingly, they haven't received the backing of the departments concerned promoting the food value of the fruits now grown largely
in many parts of the country. The fruits include strawberries, Central American dragon fruit, red grapes, Southeast Asian rambutan,
Thai red papaya etc. Few people could ever think that fruits like logan, avocados, apricots to cross-bred jujube, and those of different
kinds of delicious taste and aroma would once continue to attract young and innovative amateur farmers, to be joined by elderly
professionals. The changing pattern in the country's farming has a lot to do with the farmers' gradual adoption of a new cropping style
--- thanks to the untimely flooding of cropping areas prompted by the onrush of water through rivers in upper riparian regions across
the border.
