Agriculture has always been more than an economic sector in Bangladesh — it is the backbone of rural life and a major source of employment for tens of millions of people. Rice, jute, vegetables, fish, and livestock farming shape the daily rhythm of the countryside. Agriculture contributes approximately 11% of Bangladesh’s GDP and employs around…
Energy costs have become a growing line item on the balance sheets of Bangladeshi businesses. Industrial and commercial electricity tariffs have risen over recent years, and for energy-intensive sectors such as manufacturing, textiles, and cold storage, power expenses can represent a significant share of operating costs.
