A delegation from the United Nations and the World Bank has visited a factory manufacturing advanced and modern agricultural machinery in Dinajpur. The delegation members said they will work to connect the needs of agriculture and farmers, factories and the government.
On Saturday (April 26) at 9:30 am, the delegation from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations visited the Uttaran Engineering Factory in Dinajpur.
The production of modern agricultural machinery with advanced technology will increase the availability of prices and time for farmers, and reduce import dependence. The UN and World Bank delegation made these comments after visiting the factory.
At the time, they said that most of the agricultural equipment that is coming now is imported from abroad. If these equipment is lost, its parts have to be imported from abroad. Due to this, domestic money is being wasted, time and spending are increasing. In such a situation, locally produced agricultural machines from the agricultural machinery factories are showing hope, if the parts are damaged, locally available at low prices and easily. Employment is increasing in the country, import dependence is decreasing.
The delegation included Scott Jastis, a sustainable agricultural mechanism expert of the National Solidarity Program of the World Bank, the technical assistance coordinator of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization Mahmud Hossain, Managing Director of Uttaran Engineering Rafed ul Islam.
