Vegetables are one of the essential food items for growth and maintenance of health. In the months of December through March, vegetables are available all over Bangladesh. But during the rest of the year frequently people confront tremendous shortage of vegetables. Bangladesh is predominantly an agricultural country with rich soil condition and climate. Numerous types of vegetables could also be grown here from April to November. It is matter of regret that, even after four decades of independence, we could not produce enough vegetables for the countrymen. The issue needs better handling by the departments concerned.
