The country now has 19 lakh tonnes of food stock: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said these things while participating in the discussion of the motion of thanks on the President's speech in the National Parliament on Wednesday (February 8). Speaker at this time. Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury presided over the session.

The Prime Minister said, we have been able to promote Bangladesh to a developing country. I said I will give electricity to every house, I did. When we formed the government, there was a shortage of 35 thousand tons of food in the country. We have achieved self-sufficiency in food by emphasizing research in agriculture. Bangladesh currently has 19 lakh tonnes of food stock. Emphasis on food production.
He said that there is economic recession all over the world, Bangladesh is not separated from it. In the midst of so many crises in the world, where inflation has increased greatly, wherever we are getting, we are importing all the consumer goods that need to be imported from abroad to ensure the food security of our country along with increasing the production in the country.

The Prime Minister said, fuel oil, gas, sugar, wheat and corn - we have to import everything. But we are not looking at money. We can take measures so that people's food is safe, people's lives are active. Inflation, which was on the rise, has come down somewhat, which we think is a good sign.

Highlighting the development of the government, he said, after all this, we have been able to achieve more than 7 percent growth. We have taken comprehensive programs to ensure national security. We are capable enough to deal with natural calamities, now we have taken that measure. Awami League government is working for everyone in Bangladesh. We are not excluding anyone. We are working for the development of people in every field.
