Out of the Shadow of Famine : Evolving Food Markets and Food Policy in Bangladesh by International Food Policy Research Institute Staff (2000, Hardcover)

About this product

Product Information

This work describes how Bangladesh transformed its food markets and food policies to free the country from the constant threat of famine. Since 1990, the Bangladeshi government has dismantled its food rationing system, privatized grain distribution, eased restrictions on international trade and reduced its own presence in grain markets. The foundation for these developments was laid in the preceding decades. Improvements in agricultural science in the 1970s roughly doubled yields, while in the 1980s liberalization of irrigation restrictions, the lifting of import barriers to irrigation technology and the privatization of fertilizer distribution rapidly increased rice cultivation. These increases in production, coupled with improvements in infrastructure and a more slowly growing and increasingly urban population, have substantially changed the structure of food grain markets, leading to increased marketing volumes, lower prices and significantly larger private grain stocks.
