Agriculture, Fisheries & Food Safety

Bangladesh is mainly an agricultural economy. Agriculture contributes to 18% of GDP employing 45% of the population. Rice, wheat, jute and mango are mostly cultivated. Rice is the main staple of the country making it the fourth largest producer in the world.

Currently Bangladesh meets its local food demand due to efficient agriculture, but over the last decade climate change, urbanization, population growth and shrinkage of agricultural land threaten this sector.

Some of the services we provide in this sector are as follows: -

• Advisory and technical support services to reduce poverty and enhance food and nutrition security
• Support in developing global and local linkages
• Manage social awareness programs
• Create influence on service providing organizations to ensure quality services
• Provide legal support to establish the basic rights of people
• Exchange information, training and skill development
• Capacity building of policy makers, development workers, local people
