National agriculture policy

Professor M Zahidul Haque, Dean, Faculty of Agriculture, SAU, Dhaka
The ministry of agriculture has recently made a committee headed by Dr. Wais Kabir, Executive Chairman, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC) to finally review the draft of national agricultural policy; putting special emphasis on simplifying the language so that the content can be understood by common people including the farmers. It is gathered that the agriculture minister is determined to release and publish the national agriculture policy during the tenure of the present government. We are hopeful to get it soon.
