STAR BUSINESS REPORT

Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in agriculture, but key challenges remain in areas such as crop diversification, technology adoption, market connectivity and climate resilience, according to agri specialists at a programme marking World Food Day.

At the event at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC) auditorium in Dhaka yesterday, they said that Bangladesh ranks second in global jute and jackfruit production, third in onion, rice and inland open-water fish production, and fourth in goat meat production.

The country also stands seventh in mango and potato output, twentieth in vegetable production, and first in hilsa production.
