Dhaka [Bangladesh], December 20: Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday reiterated her call for boosting food production to save the country from any possible trouble amid the global economic recession.
"We have to increase our production and preserve those so that our country must not plunge into any danger," she was quoted as saying by United News of Bangladesh (UNB), adding that the government had set up a number of modern silos to stock rice.
Speaking at a program from her official residence Ganabhaban in Dhaka, Hasina said that the world was witnessing an economic recession.
"As a result, the prices of food items have soared beyond the purchasing capacity of all. Besides, prices of everything including power, fuel and transportation have increased," she said.
The prime minister also said that the government was focusing on the food processing industries in the economic zones that are being set up in different parts of the country by the government.
