Partnership with producers and it’s role in livestock sector in Bangladesh
Livestock plays a significant role in traditional farming, supply of animal protein, manure for the fields and full time employment for 20% of the labour force and part-time employment for another 50% of the population. The process of modernisation of the livestock in Bangladesh will require healthy dose of capital investment and technology transfer so that small producers – who constitute 90% of the animal keepers – can play their due role. The public private producer partnership (4P) is one step towards attaining holistic modernisation.
