The private players in the food grain stocks market in Bangladesh mainly include farmers, millers, traders, retailers or households. The access to data on private stocks of food grains and their monitoring at a national level, like in most countries, is a big challenge for the Government.
The current method of post-harvest collection, processing, storage and transportation of the fruits and vegetables by farming community, intermediaries and traders is prone to poor handling, delay, price irregularities, inappropriate stockpiling and quality degradation.
Bangladesh is vulnerable to natural disasters and suffers every year from floods, cyclones, tornedos, storm surge, river bank erosion, earthquake, etc.
In order to ensure road safety as well as accurate and timely information sharing among the major stakeholders of transport sector in the country, the Beneficiaries (passengers, pedestrians etc.), Service Providers (drivers, transport owners etc.) and Government Regulatory Authority need to work together and be in sync during the commute.
The Public Food Distribution System (PFDS) plays an important role in the food and agricultural sector of Bangladesh like (a) making food grains available to poor households, (b) distributing food during emergencies, (c) providing incentive prices to producers to encourage domestic production, and (d) stabilizing market prices to prevent excessive price rises.
