Fisheries, Livestock and Agriculture Minister Mohammad Amin Ur Rashid said the government would support small local packaging and processing centres if needed to help livestock farmers receive fair prices for their products. He made the remarks on Wednesday at the closing ceremony of a two-day beneficiary training programme under an integrated livestock development project for riverine char areas covering seven districts, held at an upazila parishad auditorium.
The minister said farmers can suffer when they do not receive fair value for livestock products, and called for effective measures from production through packaging, processing and marketing. He also said artificial fertiliser shortages would not be tolerated despite adequate stocks, and that the government would ensure timely supplies of fertiliser and other agricultural inputs according to farmers’ needs.
He stressed the need to maintain accurate information on farmers’ production, land use and input requirements through farmer cards to improve planning and distribution. At the event, 25 beneficiaries received heifers and animal feed, while 100 farmers received 500 improved tree saplings. The minister later released 286 kilograms of carp fingerlings into a canal of the Phuldi River.
