Agriculture, Fisheries and Livestock Minister Aminur Rashid Yasin said that farmers are being deprived of fair prices due to syndicates controlling agricultural inputs and markets. He stated that farmers must buy fertilizers, seeds, and pesticides at high prices and that the government will take strict action against these syndicates. The minister made these remarks on Saturday, April 18, during a gathering at Harindhara in Moynamoti Union of Burichang upazila, Cumilla, after inspecting the Gomti River and Jainta Canal.
He emphasized that the government is following farmer-friendly policies, noting that about 70 percent of the population is directly or indirectly involved in agriculture. He added that a strong agricultural sector ensures a stable national economy. The minister also mentioned that the government has introduced agricultural cards to provide subsidies and other benefits to farmers, initiatives taken under the leadership of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman.
Yasin announced that a modern vegetable storage facility will be built soon at the Nimsar vegetable market, one of the largest in the region, to help farmers preserve their produce and sell it at fair prices, thereby strengthening local agriculture.
