Bangladesh Udhiyah Goes Online

With a growing number of internet users in Bangladesh, many livestock traders have turned to online brokers to sell `Eid Al-Adha sacrifices in the world's third-largest Muslim majority nation.

“This is a place without hassle and any fear of getting mugged,” Eshita Sharmin, marketing manager at Bikroy.com, one of the largest online shopping websites in Bangladesh, told Gulf Times.

The new trend appeared in the south Asian Muslim majority country a year ago.

Starting with only ten brokers, five online brokers have joined them this year in the proliferating industry.

For Bangladeshi Muslims, online trading offers them full information about the sacrifice, giving detailed description about it including color, breed and estimated weight of the animal.

It also gives farmers and traders a better chance to advertise their cattle and reach a wider range of customers.

Sharmin noted that online brokers cut the burden of going to the livestock markets and walking back with the animals to home.

“Online cattle buying saves time too,” Sharmin added.

Web Reports have showed a boost in online livestock trading after the online livestock advertisements increased to 1200 this year, compared to 800 in 2012.

As the public demand for livestock online increased, the number of online advertisements have also increased to accommodate the boosting demands amid wide spread of internet services in the Asian country, Sharmin said.

Bikroy.com, has already received over 700 advertisements. The numbers is expected to triple during the `Eid Al-Adha celebrations.

Udhiyah or animal sacrifice, a ritual that reminds of the great act of sacrifice Prophet Ibrahim and his son Isma`eel were willing to make for the sake of God.

A financially-able Muslim sacrifices a single sheep or goat or shares six others in sacrificing a camel or cow as an act of worship during the four-day `Eid Al-Adha.

The Udhiyah meat should be divided in three equal parts, one each for one's own family, friends and the poor.
