On both a pilot and large-scale basis, Bangladesh has pioneered much of the safety-net approach to food security and has led in planning and developing much of the basis for longterm solutions to food security problems. I was in Professor Nurul Islam’s home for the fateful speech that, in certain respects, marked the inception of the nation, and I have continued to learn from Bangladesh through my friends and many visits over the last four decades. During that time span, the food security of Bangladeshis has increased immensely, but there is more to be done, obviously, and, fortunately, a way to do it.]]>

Food security in general has three basic elements: availability, access, and utilization. The dominant source of food in Bangladesh is domestic production. This paper will examine the availability of food from domestic production in crop agriculture. A companion paper examines issues related to fisheries and livestock development. In this paper we first provide a brief history of growth in crop agriculture and its characteristics. This is followed by a discussion of the challenges that Bangladesh agriculture will face in future (including climate change) and the key issues that need resolution in order to face these challenges. The resolution of these challenges will require interventions mediated by the government and involving the private sector, including both policy actions and the necessary investments in relevant areas. These investment needs are elaborated as far as possible in this paper, along with an initial prioritization. We make no attempt to indicate how such investment needs may be realized, their sequence, or how to mobilize them. These are matters for future discussion.]]>

Social safety nets in Bangladesh have been quite effective in smoothing the consumption and the income of poor households and helping them cope with stresses and shocks. These programs, however, cover only a fraction of the poor, and they must be strengthened if they are to adequately address poverty or mitigate the vulnerability to poverty in a sustainable way. Safety nets will become even more important in Bangladesh as the country faces economic downturn, food price fluctuations, climate change, and other developments that increase the vulnerability of the poor.]]>

The fisheries and livestock sectors are two major pillars of Bangladesh’s economy, and more than 10 million people directly depend on these sectors for their livelihoods. These sectors are also important for food, nutrition, income, export earning, draft power, biofertilizer, and transport. The fisheries sector is vibrant, contributing to about 20 percent of the agri- cultural GDP, while the livestock sector contribution is around 12 percent. These two sectors provide the major dietary protein. During 1994−2005 the food from animal origin increased from 76 to 113 gm per capita per day. About 63 percent of animal protein supply in the diet of the people of Bangladesh is obtained from fish.]]>

The economic consequences of high maternal and child undernutrition cannot be overstated. A combination of high maternal undernutrition and postnatal factors cause child undernutrition, which in turn can influence children’s school performance and their future occupational choices, and can undermine the future productivity of nations. Notwithstanding rapid economic growth in a number of South Asian countries (including Bangladesh and India), the pace of improvements in maternal and child undernutrition in the region remains deeply unsatisfactory. Bangladesh has made considerable progress in addressing the non-income poverty indicators for the first Millennium Development Goal (MDG1)—that is, reducing the prevalence of underweight children under five years of age—but improvements are slowing, which raises questions about whether the target will be achieved or not. Furthermore, the overall levels of maternal and child undernutrition are still high in Bangladesh, and further investments are needed to accelerate improvements and prevent the negative impact of maternal and child undernutrition on long-term development. This paper is, therefore, about the policy focus that is needed to greatly improve the current status of maternal and children nutrition. Although overweight and obesity are emerging problems in Bangladesh, this paper will not address this aspect of undernutrition. However, it is a potential concern in the future, and this trend should be monitored.]]>

Governance and gender issues are concerns that cut across the three core objectives and 26 areas of intervention of the Plan of Action, both explicitly and implicitly.

Agricultural trade has been an important contributor in Bangladesh to improved food security and price stability. For example, private sector imports have assured a price ceiling at import parity levels in the aftermath of major floods in 1998 and 2004. As the global price crisis has shown, however, the positive experiences with private trade might not completely eliminate the role of public food stocks. While Bangladesh is a net agricultural importer, it has also been successful in exporting cereals and high-value products such as shrimp and fish. This success has partly been due to preferential trade agreements. However, further investments are needed to assure that Bangladesh can adhere to increasing quality and safety standards and to prepare for a more liberalized international trade environment, once the Doha trade negotiations are finalized.]]>
