Industry
Outlook
Bangladesh has the basic attributes for successful agro-based
industries, namely, rich alluvial soil, a year-round frost-free environment, an
adequate water supply and an abundance of cheap labour. Increased cultivation
of vegetables, spices and tropical fruits now grown in Bangladesh could supply
raw materials to local agro-processing industries for both domestic and export
markets. Progressive agricultural practices,
improved marketing technique and modern processing facilities would enable the
agro-processing industry to improve its quality and expand production levels significantly. Investment
interests in agro-based industries are highly encouraged. Source:
