PM on agriculture

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that her government would modernize the country's agriculture system using latest technology to ensure food security. The PM made this assertion when Food & Agriculture Organization's (FAO) Bangladesh Representative Ad Spijkers met her at her office recently. Spijkers appreciated the government's food policy and assured of FAO's support in ensuring food security. Meanwhile, in my opinion, with a view to translating PM's assertion into reality, the following steps should be taken: (i) Formulation and implementation of a pragmatic up-to-date 'National Agriculture Policy'. (ii) Building up a sound communication infrastructure so that the farmers can easily market their produce at fair price. (iii) Propagation of a true culture among the government machineries to serve the farming people with total honesty and dedication. May Bangladesh turn into a really 'Golden Bangladesh'!
