Denmark keen to invest in dairy farming
DHAKA, Sept 6, 2018 (BSS) – A five-member delegation led by Acting Danish
Ambassador Refika Hayta is keen to invest in the dairy farming sector for
increasing milk production to meet the country’s protein demand.
Bangladesh and Denmark can work together for modernization of agriculture
sector as the two countries largely depend on agro-production, the delegation
made the comment when they called on LGRD and Cooperatives Minister Khandakar
Mosharraf Hossain at the latter’s office here, an official release said.
LGRD and Cooperatives Secretary SM Golam Kibria and members of the
delegation, among others, were present on the occasion.
Mosharraf said Bangladesh has ranked fourth in fish production as the
present government has taken various initiatives including providing
incentives to expand dairy farming sector.
“Cooperative farmers are keeping a significant contribution for milk
production, processing and marketing through Milk Vita,” he added.
