Most of the forests in Birbhum district are on the laterite soil but the Chaupahari Sal forest in Illambazar area on alluvial soil. The villagers living in 32 villages located inside the forest have realized that they can make a living by selling plates (thalis) made of sal leaves and mushrooms (locally known as toshor guti) both abundantly available in the forest.
Cotton goods were not only items of trade. In the mid-19th century, John Erskine of Illambazar was one of the leading sugar manufacturers and exporters in the area. The Erskine family also had indigo factories. Illambazar was once an area for indigo cultivation, traces of which can still be found.
