Launch of gamma irradiation technology to ensure international standards in agricultural product exports

At the inauguration ceremony, the minister said that through this technology, the country's agricultural products will become more competitive in the international market. In particular, it will play an effective role in exporting products such as mango and jackfruit. Noting that a Chinese delegation recently showed interest in importing Bangladeshi mangoes, he said the government plans to establish such centres in important districts of the country in phases to prevent spoilage and wastage of agricultural products.

Presided over by BINA Director General Dr. Sarful Haque Bhuiya, the event was also attended by Member of Parliament for Gazipur-3 constituency Dr. S M Rafiqul Islam, Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture Md. Selim Khan and Representative of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Dr. Xiaoqun Shi.
