DHAKA, 11 July 2021, (TON): The government is working with its utmost importance to remove the existing barriers in the export of fruits and vegetables to the developed countries, Agriculture Minister Muhammad Abdur Razzaque said.
He said "we want to export agricultural products not only in the Middle East but also in the key markets of the developed countries including Europe and Japan."
Razzaque said “therefore, work has already started to implement the Good Agricultural Practice Policy (GAP) in the country to remove the export barriers.”
The agriculture minister was speaking at a view exchange meeting after inspecting Bangladesh Agriculture Development Corporation (BADC)'s cold storage, built to facilitate the export of agriculture products, at the Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka.
He said "the country did not have an accredited lab of international standard, we have set it up. From there the certification has started. Work is underway to set up a vacuum heat treatment plant for mango export.”
