Bangladesh is an agro-based country. In the last four decades agriculture sector contributed a lot in the development of the country. We now read many success stories in the newspapers about the achievements in this sector. Recently a book entitled 'Agro Journalism' was published which could help the journalists present quality news and articles on agriculture. Undoubtedly, this book will help professional journalists improve the quality of their news. The advancement of agriculture is a continuous process. So we would like to have a glimpse of the latest innovations, progress and success in this sector as well as stories on what difficulties our farmers and scientists are facing working in this sector in this daily. The Daily Star is an esteemed newspaper. So we would request The Daily Star authorities to bring out a weekly page on agriculture. Hope the authorities would consider this proposal.
