This document discusses agricultural marketing, price stabilization, value chains, and global/regional trade in Bangladesh. It makes the following key points:
1. Domestic food and agricultural markets in Bangladesh have undergone significant changes in recent decades, including a decrease in food price seasonality, large increases in the quantities of food marketed, a decline in the direct role of the public sector, and a rising importance of high-value commodities.
2. Most analyses find that foodgrain and staple markets function quite efficiently for well-connected areas, benefiting from investments in infrastructure and technology. However, continued investments are needed to further stimulate efficiency and ensure Bangladesh can meet challenges in high-value products relating to quality and safety.

1. The food processing industry in India is a growing sector that accounts for 32% of the country's total food market and has attracted $2.15 billion in foreign direct investment in 2015.
2. The size of the food processing industry is estimated to reach $258 billion by 2015 and $482 billion by 2020, growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 11% from 2010-2014.
3. The industry faces challenges such as a decline in land holdings, poor market linkages, a lack of adequate processing capacity and technology, and insufficient infrastructure and supply chains. However, the government is increasingly supporting the sector through policies aimed at tripling investment and exports of processed foods by 2015.
This study examined the effectiveness of agricultural protection policy and other macroeconomic variables on food supply, agricultural export, and farmers welfare in Nigeria, from 1980-2016 with a special interest in their relationship with the political economy. The specific objectives were to (i) estimate the degrees of agricultural protection, domestic agricultural food supply and economic welfare to farmers in Nigeria, (ii) determine the effectiveness of agricultural protection on food self-supply, agricultural export; and farmer-welfare. Data were obtained from secondary sources. Descriptive statistics and generalized method of moment (GMM) were used. Nigeria’s self-food supply was slightly above 50% while the rest of the consumption depended on importation. The welfare measure to farmers was relatively poor and not good enough to motivate them. There was a positive and significant relationship between export and agricultural protection. A significant and positive relationship also exists between farmer-welfare and protection in the sector.
The document discusses reducing food price variability in Sub-Saharan Africa. Two major events in 2008 highlighted the need for intervention in agricultural markets and risk management tools: 1) The global food crisis put agriculture at the top of policy agendas as food prices became more variable in Africa. 2) The financial crisis undermined faith in self-correcting markets. Vulnerability to price fluctuations affects the poor. The report analyzes different types of instruments to reduce price risk, including private market mechanisms, government policies, and safety nets. It also provides a framework to assess which instruments are most suitable for different country contexts in Sub-Saharan Africa based on market development.

Food and agriculture various policies and WTO implicationsDevegowda S R
This document discusses issues related to food security and agriculture policies in India in the context of WTO implications. It notes that while India achieved self-sufficiency in food production, it has not solved the problem of chronic household food insecurity associated with poverty. The document outlines various government interventions for poverty alleviation and the public distribution system. It discusses the key aspects of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture such as market access, domestic support, and export subsidies. India's concerns with meeting international trade standards and potential future actions are also summarized.
The document discusses various policy strategies for ensuring food security. It identifies three broad strategies: availability and supply-oriented approaches that increase food supplies; access and demand-oriented approaches that increase demands; and utilization and outcomes-oriented approaches that improve nutrition. While all three strategies are needed, the emphasis depends on whether the main food deficit is related to supply, demand, or dietary imbalance. The document then examines key aspects of production and supply-based policy approaches as well as debates around self-sufficiency versus reliance on imports. It also discusses the roles of poverty reduction, safety nets, and nutrition interventions in achieving food security.

By 2050, the world's population will reach 9.1 billion people, with nearly all growth occurring in developing countries. Food production will need to increase by 70% to feed this larger, more urban, and wealthier population. This document argues that increased agricultural investment, productivity growth, and ensuring access to food can achieve global food security. However, risks like climate change and increased biofuel production could undermine food availability and access. Coordinated international action is needed to support agricultural development and address these risks.
By 2050 the world’s population will reach 9.1 billion, 34 percent higher than today. Nearly all of this population increase will occur in developing countries. Urbanization will continue at an accelerated pace, and about 70 percent of the world’s population will be urban (compared to 49 percent today). Income levels will be many multiples of what they are now. In order to feed this larger, more urban and richer population, food production (net of food used for biofuels) must increase by 70 percent.
Annual cereal production will need to rise to about 3 billion tonnes from 2.1 billion today and annual meat production will need to rise by over 200 million tonnes to reach 470 million tonnes. This report argues that the required increase in food production can be achieved if the necessary investment is undertaken and policies conducive to agricultural production are put in place.
But increasing production is not sufficient to achieve food security. It must be complemented by policies to enhance access by fighting poverty, especially in rural areas, as well as effective safety net programmes. Total average annual net investment in developing country agriculture required to deliver the necessary production increases would amount to USD 83 billion. The global gap in what is required vis-à-vis current investment levels can be illustrated by comparing the required annual gross investment of US$209 billion (which includes the cost of renewing depreciating investments) with the result of a separate study that estimated that developing countries on average invested USD 142 billion (USD of 2009) annually in agriculture over the past decade.
The required increase is thus about 50 percent. These figures are totals for public and private investment, i.e. investments by farmers. Achieving them will require a major reallocation in developing country budgets as well as in donor programmes. It will also require policies that support farmers in developing countries and encourage them and other private participants in agriculture to increase their investment. In developing countries, 80 percent of the necessary production increases would come from increases in yields and cropping intensity and only 20 percent from expansion of arable land.
But the fact is that globally the rate of growth in yields of the major cereal crops has been steadily declining, it dropped from 3.2 percent per year in 1960 to 1.5 percent in 2000. The challenge for technology is to reverse this decline, since a continuous linear increase in yields at a global level following the pattern established over the past five decades will not be sufficient to meet food needs. Although investment in agricultural R&D continues to be one of the most productive investments, with rates of return between 30 and 75 percent, it has been neglected in most low income countries.
The G20 Development Ministers discuss three main topics around tackling food security:
1) Developing rural agriculture to increase jobs, production, and access to food.
2) Addressing food price volatility through further research on market interventions and increasing transparency of supply and demand data.
3) Ensuring sustainable food security by transitioning to alternatives to biofuels that impact land and food, and promoting Conservation Agriculture through regional research, compensation for farmers, and technology transfers tailored to communities.
This document provides a profile for establishing a plant to produce 3,500 tons of poultry feed per year. Poultry feed is a balanced livestock feed used to feed domesticated birds like chickens. The principal raw materials needed are locally available except for vitamins. The total investment cost is estimated at 9.81 million Birr. The project is financially viable with an IRR of 32.11% and will create 29 jobs. It will stimulate the agricultural and livestock sectors through backward and forward linkages.

Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector is the 4th largest sector in the Indian economy with Household and Personal Care accounting for 50 percent of FMCG sales in India. Growing awareness, easier access, and changing lifestyles have been the key growth drivers for the sector. The urban segment (accounts for a revenue share of around 55 percent) is the largest contributor to the overall revenue generated by the FMCG sector in India However, in the last few years, the FMCG market has grown at a faster pace in rural India compared with urban India. Semi-urban and rural segments are growing at a rapid pace and FMCG products account for 50 percent of total rural spending.
This document discusses legislation related to agriculture in Kenya and its role in realizing the country's Vision 2030. It outlines several acts passed between 2003-present, including the Fisheries Act and Crop Act. The Fisheries Act focuses on developing the fishing industry through training, infrastructure, and management measures. The Crop Act aims to accelerate agricultural growth and incomes. Vision 2030's goal is to make Kenya a middle-income, industrialized country by 2030 through its social, economic, and political pillars. Agriculture falls under the economic pillar and aims to add value to raw products and modernize the industry through innovation.

The document summarizes the opening remarks of USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah at the Bangladesh Food Security Investment Forum in 2010. Shah expresses support for Bangladesh's efforts to develop a comprehensive food security strategy and investment plan. He highlights key commitments the US has made, including $15 million for agricultural programs and $4 million for nutrition interventions in Bangladesh. Shah also outlines ways USAID plans to assist Bangladesh, such as enhancing agriculture/nutrition teams, and supporting applications to funding sources like the World Bank. He stresses the long-term nature of achieving food security and the US commitment to partner with Bangladesh over the long run.
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.
The document summarizes the key points from a speech given by David Nabarro at the Bangladesh Food Security Investment Forum in 2010. It discusses Bangladesh's goal of achieving food security for all citizens and creating a long-term comprehensive framework (CIP) to coordinate agricultural investments, safety nets, and nutrition programs. The CIP aims to boost agricultural productivity, create jobs, manage natural resources sustainably, and scale up efforts to reduce malnutrition, especially in children and pregnant women. It also emphasizes the need for strong government leadership and involvement of the private sector, civil society, and NGOs to effectively implement the CIP.
The document discusses the growth and development potential of livestock and fisheries in Bangladesh. It finds that livestock contributes 2.9% to national GDP while fisheries contribute 5%. Aquaculture is driving fisheries growth through improved breeds and management. However, open water fisheries are declining though still contribute over 40% of fish production. There will be deficits in milk, meat, and fish production by 2015 unless growth accelerates. Priority investment areas include removing policy barriers, offering incentives and subsidies, and promoting smallholder poultry, dairy, and community-based fisheries management.
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.
This document summarizes the opening address given by Dr. Muhammad Abdur Razzaque, Honourable Minister of the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management of Bangladesh, at the Bangladesh Food Security Investment Forum 2010. Some key points:
1) Bangladesh faces challenges to food security like population growth, impacts of climate change, deteriorating access to resources, and volatility in global food markets.
2) The government has increased investment in agriculture and social safety nets to boost food production and protect vulnerable populations, but more funding is still needed.
3) The forum brings together stakeholders to discuss strategies to improve food security in Bangladesh in line with the government's vision of self-sufficiency by 2012, as outlined in
The Prime Minister of Bangladesh opened the Bangladesh Food Security Investment Forum in 2010. [1] She emphasized that food security is a high priority given the global food crisis of 2007-2008. [2] Bangladesh aims to achieve self-sufficiency in food production through boosting agricultural output, improving productivity in fisheries and livestock, and overcoming impediments to high crop yields. [3] A comprehensive, coordinated approach involving multiple sectors is needed to ensure all people have access to nutritious food.
The document summarizes the opening address given by Dr. Shenggen Fan, Director General of the International Food Policy Research Institute, at the Bangladesh Food Security Investment Forum in 2010. In 3 sentences:
Bangladesh has made progress in reducing poverty and hunger but still faces challenges to food security like child malnutrition and rising food prices. Public investment is needed in agricultural research, farmer access to markets, and social safety nets to improve food security given population growth, climate change, and natural resource constraints. The forum aims to examine multidimensional investment strategies needed to tackle future food security challenges in Bangladesh by prioritizing public spending across sectors, crops, and regions based on returns and complementarities.
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.
Achieving food security is high on the agenda of the Government of Bangladesh. In 2006, the government passed a National Food Policy (NFP), which was followed up in 2008 by a Plan of Action (PoA). 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. This paper aims to address the governance and gender issues that are embedded within the Plan of Acﰂon, by discussing how these two concerns are relevant to the four idenﰂfied priority areas, by poinﰂng out the opportuniﰂes and challenges for Bangladesh within each area, and by summarizing key policy recommendations to better address governance and gender issues to achieve food security.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Income Growth, Safety Nets and Public Food Distribution
1. INCOME GROWTH, SAFETY NETS, AND PUBLIC FOOD DISTRIBUTION BANGLADESH FOOD SECURITY INVESTMENT FORUM 2010 Akhter U. Ahmed, IFPRI Paul Dorosh, IFPRI QuaziShahabuddin, BIDS RuhulAminTalukder, MoF & DM 26-27 May 2010
2.
3. Nevertheless, the government must provide emergency relief during periods of natural disasters, alleviate chronic food insecurity through targeted food distribution to the poor households, and take steps, when necessary, to stabilize prices.2
4.
5.
6. The PFDS also plays other key roles:provides price incentive to farmers for increased production through domestic procurement of rice and wheat. maintain security stock of foodgrains to meet emergencies. prevent excessive rise in prices to stabilize market prices 4
14. However, setting a procurement price that sends adequate production signals to the farmers, while minimizing costs to the public exchequer is a real challenge.
15. Research indicates that it is easier to forecast the size of irrigated boro rice harvest and future prices than aman, which is grown during the monsoon season.6
16.
17. The procurement price set for the boro harvest was excessively high in 3 out of 4 years during the late 1990s, resulting in extra costs to the government and windfall profits to those fortunate enough to sell at the procurement centres.7
18.
19. The National Food Policy, 2006 recommended to maintain a public stock of 1.0 million ton of foodgrains. However, the official government target in late 2008 was to hold a stock of 1.5 million tons of rice and wheat.8
20.
21. Although public warehouses have capacity to store 1.7 million tons, some of this is unusable so that effective government storage capacity is 1.5 million tons. This is adequate for minimum national security stock but not for additional stock to stabilize prices and if the government continues with the food-based safety net programmes.9
26. Enhancing effectiveness of public procurement programme which is an integral part of public food management system has become imperative. The food crisis experienced in 2007/08 have strengthened the case of improved effectiveness of domestic procurement programme.11
27.
28. Proper management of public stock is essential for improved effectiveness of the PFDS. The government has to maintain rolling stocks to cater to the “routine” needs of the PFDS including Safety Net Programmes and Open Market Sale (OMS), as well as minimum buffer stocks for emergency distribution in times of natural disasters.12
29. IV. Areas of Interventions and Investment Options (Contd.) While estimating the minimum buffer stocks for emergency distribution, due considerations should be given to climate change-induced greater intensity and frequency of natural disaster as well as growth in population which pose a major challenge for Bangladesh. This calls for careful planning and management of the amount of grains to stock and distribute, and for storage facilities to be established as well as for improved monitoring of existing storage quality. 13
30.
31.
32. According to a recent government decision, an additional storage of 0.58 million ton of foodgrains will be constructed by 201. In fact, from medium and long-term perspective, the government has undertaken projects to enhance the public storage capacity from 1.5 million tons to 2.2 million tons over the next 3-5 years and is planning to increase the storage capacity to about 3.0 million tons by 2020.15
