“…The term 'rural economy' refers to the economic activities that provide income and well-being for those who live in rural areas [12]. In this study, 'rural economy' means all the activities that deliver income to the people who come to Sarojganj Bazaar to buy or sell agricultural, industrial, or service-related products.…”

Among the minor crops of Bangladesh, the sugar crop is significant. Among them, date palm juice is deeply intertwined with the country's culture and traditions. Date molasses made from it occupies an important place in the micro-level market system, though it has not caught the attention of all nationally. Therefore, since Saroganj is Bangladesh's largest and oldest date molasses market, this study looks at its history. Researchers have also looked into how it became a local-regional sustainable economic hub and its nature and traits. In addition to historical research methods, techniques like oral history interviews, interviews with key informants, and sustained observation have been used to meet the research goals. The research results show that a ganj called Maharajaganj was established here in the late eighteenth century and was changed to Sarojganj in the second decade of the twentieth century. Moreover, since then, seasonal date molasses hat has started to be established here. Within a hundred years, this hat became a mixed hub where some characteristics of financial, trade, and industrial hubs exist. It is expected that if the existing problems-the lack of planting date trees and decreasing the production of date juice, and the production of adulterated molasses-are solved, this hat can play a more effective and sustainable role in improving the quality of life of the people in the area in the coming days. At the same time, a small crop sector that has been ignored can help Bangladesh's economy grow in a big way at the micro level.

Based on the construction and development of digital economy-enabled rural industry revitalization in a region, this paper conducts theoretical analysis on the degree of promotion of rural industry revitalization from three aspects, namely, production conditions, capacity, and benefits. In order to verify the influence mechanism of the digital economy on rural industry revitalization, a regression measurement model oriented to the digital economy and rural revitalization is constructed based on the evaluation index system, and the entropy weight method is used to calculate the comprehensive evaluation index of rural industry revitalization and the comprehensive evaluation index of the digital economy. Determine the variables and data sources and conduct an empirical analysis of the digital economy contributing to rural revitalization from the perspective of informationization. The data show that the mean value of the digital economy index (Dige) is 0.2482, the minimum value is 0.0043, and the maximum value is 0.951, indicating that there are large differences in the development of the digital economy among different regions and that the eastern region has a more significant advantage in the rural industry (0.2258) as well as in the digital economy (0.3076), compared with the western region and the central region. In addition, the R² of the baseline regression (Model 1) is 0.5782, and the R² after replacing the explanatory variables using the entropy method index (Model 2) is 0.6881, based on the results suggesting that the development of the digital economy has a facilitating effect on the development of rural industries. The efficiency of resource utilization in rural areas is improved by this study, which releases the potential for agricultural development and further promotes the strategy of rural revitalization.
