Sheikh Hasina said, I produce whatever I can. Then there will be no famine in Bangladesh. Even if there is famine in the world, we have to make arrangements now so that Bangladesh can provide food. Also we have to save food. And the food that survives now, must be stored properly. We are producing, but if we do not store them properly, they will be wasted. We have to pay attention to that now.
He said, besides, to prevent famine, we should focus on using all the products we import. How to increase their production should be tried. I think it won’t be too difficult.
