Why agriculture still matters (The Financial Express)

July 12, 2019


The Financial Express ran an editorial titled “Why agriculture still matters” that mentions IFPRI research: “Agriculture deserves attention on other counts. Studies conducted by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) indicate that a one percentage growth in agriculture is at least two to three times more effective in reducing poverty than the same rate of growth achieved in the non-agricultural sectors. Given that Bangladesh is home to a large number of poor and undernourished people in the world, a higher priority to agriculture will achieve goals of reducing poverty and malnutrition which is at the center-stage of development discourse in recent years.”
