With the   rise of a thriving middle class from the late eighties, floriculture became a hotspot for commercial agriculture in suburban Dhaka and the southwestern districts of Bangladesh. But the variety of flowers was limited to a few numbers and the shelf life of locally produced flowers was pitiably short. Finding this a promising area of business Metal founded Metal Biotech Nursery in 2016.

Metal Biotech Nursery was set up for research and production of flower seeds, bulbs, cut flowers, orchid items and creation of varieties in flowers. This opened up a new horizon in floriculture as it encouraged the entrepreneurs to engage in flower export and to probe deeper in the possibilities of the local market. Flower businesses could now have flowers for a longer shelf life which in turn created a larger consumer interest in buying flowers. Metal Biotech made available to the flower farmers seeds of different flowers of different colors and shades and flowers of longer shelf-life to exporters of flowers.
