The Proposal

The Government of Bangladesh has set in place a long-term plan focusing on four strategic areas:

• Agro-processing, marketing, and commercialization
• Climate-resilient, climate-smart agriculture
• Cold storage and post-harvest management, and supply chain management
• Irrigation and water management.

The plan is to implement them across the strategic agro-ecological zones, with each zone focusing on an intervention.

In Bangladesh, the Hand-in-Hand Initiative supports investments addressing post-harvest losses. While crop production has increased, storage infrastructure to reduce food loss and boost exports has been lacking. Therefore, investments focus on cold storage and agro-processing facilities to reduce post-harvest losses by 45-55% in the below four value chains.

Agro-informatics connects information technology with the management, analysis and application of agricultural data to design more accurate and targeted agricultural interventions. The use of new technologies and techniques in agriculture, such as satellite imagery, remote sensing, and geographic information systems, enable the transformation of data into actionable information.
