BD to export organic meat in next three years, says minister

Fisheries, Livestock and Agriculture Minister Mohammed Aminur Rashid has said Bangladesh will export certified organic grass-fed meat within next three years, reports BSS.

"The country will export 100 per cent natural grass-fed or non-GMO meat in future while many livestock animals eat feed containing genetically modified soya or corn", he said.

The minister said this while addressing a seminar titled 'Australia-Bangladesh Research Showcase' held at a city hotel on Wednesday.

Financed by the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Australian government, the programme was jointly organised by Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (BLRI) and Australian leading Charles Sturt University.

The main theme of the seminar was "Climate-resilient food systems-practical solutions and partnerships".

The minister said, safe and nutritional food now becomes very much important in the present world.
