Bangladesh to gain capacity to export agri products to all countries

International laboratory is going to be set up in Bangladesh in order to provide accredited certificates as part of the roadmap for exporting agricultural products, Wahida Akter, Agriculture Secretary of Bangladesh said.

She informed that world-class packaging system is being developed in the South Asian country alongside imparting training to some 2,00,000 farmers across the country in order to produce commodities suitable for the demand of various countries across the world.

The Agriculture Secretary also hoped that Bangladesh would gain capacity to export agricultural products to all countries within the next two years.

She said this while addressing a workshop on LDC Graduation and Implementation of Action Plan: "Export of Agro Products: Challenges and Way Forward" held at the Bangladesh Agriculture Research Council (BARC) in the capital on Sunday.

Mentioning that Bangladesh is being praised across the world for producing agricultural products, Wahida said, "But, we'll have to work more to enhance the export of agricultural products and reduce the production cost. The Ministry of Agriculture has also launched dedicated export desk to expand export of agricultural products,"
