Standard Chartered Bangladesh (SCB) and Friendship have joined hands to ensure that char-based communities receive much needed farm-to-market support to increase agricultural output, rise above poverty, produce efficiently, and build resilience, a press release said Sunday. The newly launched project will improve the economic condition of 7,000 climate-impacted farmers from across 36 chars via the provision of sustainable agricultural technologies; training opportunities to foster growth; essential technical support; and market-extension assistance to boost financial inclusion. This end-to-end support will revolutionise agricultural activity across some of the most vulnerable communities in Bangladesh’s northern and southern regions. This initiative emphasises the essential role played by agriculture in furthering individual prosperity while simultaneously paving a path towards ensuring food safety and security across Bangladesh.
