The government in cooperation with USAID will soon launch a project titled 'Food Safety and Horticultural Crops' in the country to help ensure food security.
A workshop on the launching of the project will be held at Hotel Radisson in the capital July 16-18, said a PID handout on Sunday.
The idea of launching such project came recently when the agriculture minister, Matia Chowdhury, visited Cornell University of the USA at the invitation of Ronnie Coffman, director, International Agricultural Programme of the university.
Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute director general M Rafiqul Islam Mondal also visited the USA with Matia.
