Bangladesh's Development
Policy Recommendations
The government should prepare for maintaining adequate food stock not only
through better agricultural production, but also through importing food.
☐ There is a need for actual demand estimation of rice and other food items in
the country.
□ During a crisis, food-exporting countries would not export food without
meeting their domestic demands first. If they decided to export, the prices
would be exorbitant. Therefore, planning the production and import of food
should be done early on.
☐ Inflationary pressure will hamper a sustainable and inclusive
pandemic recovery, since the real purchasing power of many
people will decline, causing further inequality.
