Arable land
Golam Ashraf, Gulshan, Dhaka
In our country of 147,570 sq km with 144 million inhabitants, the arable land for cultivation is steadily diminishing not only for the dense population but also for high costs and higher standard of living. The inward remittances, garment products, prawn and shrimp cultivation, tanners and tea planters are fetching valuable foreign exchange for our development works.The world's population has increased further to 6.3 billions and consequently the supply is becoming limited causing upward trend in the prices of industrial raw materials and the consumable semi-processed agricultural products. For retaining the existing green agricultural land, the ministries of industries, finance and planning should give priority to mergers, amalgamations and joint ventures of the firms and companies.
