Farmers need more support | The Daily Star
Expressing concern over insufficient help for farmers, leading agricultural economists yesterday suggested formation of a special fund from where the growers would receive price support during harvesting period. “Although there were emotions and voices raised on different platforms and in newspapers, they [farmers] did not get fair prices for rice. It [the issue] was not mentioned in the budget speech,” Prof Emeritus Abdus Sattar Mondol, former vice chancellor of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh said at a seminar in the capital yesterday.
