Bowden 2003, tr. 39: "Many of [Bangladesh's] people depend on the delta for their survival. Two-thirds of Bangladeshis work in agriculture and grow crops on the fertile delta floodplains. Jute fiber, used to make twine and sacking, is Bangladeh's main export crop. Tea, wheat, rice, beans, sugarcane, and fruits are grown." Bowden, Rob (2003). The Ganges. A River Journey.
