Problems At Bay

Farmers in Bangladesh face several barriers and challenges that hinder their agricultural productivity and overall well-being.

Some of the major barriers include:

Lack of access to credit and financial services: Many farmers struggle to access formal credit and financial services, which limits their ability to invest in inputs, modern equipment, and technology. Farmers have to rely on informal lenders charging high interest rates.

Market access and price volatility: Farmers often face challenges in accessing markets and obtaining fair prices for their produce along with proper market infrastructure, transportation facilities, and market information leads to being exploited by middlemen and price volatility.

Limited diversification and value addition: Over reliance on traditional crops and limited value addition activities limit farmers’ income-generating opportunities. Lack of knowledge and infrastructure for post-harvest processing restricts their ability to capture higher value from their produce.
