Ensuring Fresh and Safe agro products for consumers

Bangladesh is a densely populated country. To meet the demand of our over populated country and to ensure food security for all citizens; there is no alternative to increase our crop productions. It is significant that, in the recent years our crop production is increasing and we are now self-sufficient in food production. Our farmers are working hard and adopting modern technologies at all stage of production levels. All salute must go to them for their day night efforts despite of facing hurdles from natural calamities like flood, cyclone, drought and even from the attack of pests.

Pests are an important threat to food production, in some cases destroying as much as one quarter of annual crops. But, in order to fight pests, farmers in Bangladesh heavily rely on pesticides, with potentially negative implications for agriculture, the environment and human health. On the other hand, the traders of fruits and vegetables, at different stage, mixing poisonous chemicals as preservative in a sense of earn more profit. The effects from over use of pesticides and preservatives, we urban people rarely get poison free fresh vegetables and fruits from market. Moreover, there are numbers of intermediates between farmer to consumer level, causing the increase of sales price but squeezing the farmers in getting proper value of their productions.
