I get what you mean but at a certain point overall scale matters more than per capita.
Their 10% surplus production is probably our entire yield. Whereas our 10% surplus would just about meet shortfalls for a bad year.
BD usually imports rice as a precaution and to avoid price inflation...
It's because they have 20 times the cultivatable land Vs BD compared to 7 times the population.
The per capita output of Bangladesh is credit to it's amazing agri sector. We produce more from less space - but they have a lot more space...
Don't get overexcited - try to understand the underlying issues at play here.
India heavily subsidizes it's rice farmers - keeping prices artificially low. BD paying even at 11% over, benefits from Indian taxpayers subsidies. So it's actually a fair deal overall.
“This move by India is not...
Some people are politicising a matter that is just common sense.
India is the immediate transit route, it's the most convenient route. The richer BD gets, the more we will buy through India - that's just logical.
That's why so many deshis shop in Kolkata - they're not all traitors.
Its like...
Yes BD needs to develop our local talent pool. But why has this suddenly become a political tool - where was BD talent all these decades?
Golden gate bridge was completed in 1937. BD was born in 1971 and India existed for centuries before that - why pin this on today's govt other than for pure...
Are any of these ideas new? BD is full of gyaan. Ershad and Zia had several good ideas but their descendants implemented nothing.
The point is that Hasina is the only one who pushed it all through - whatever you say about corruption, democracy, etc. That's an undeniable fact.
So why do you...
Don't be so judgemental and condescending all the time.
You speak like only you have brains in BD - but ground reality proves you're the one who is actually wrong.
Now you say deshis have too much money - a month ago you were lamenting how the country is impoverished!
Despite being wrong, you...
Are you giving credit for the last decade of BD development to the caretaker govt of 2 years in 2007?!
Also I understood you were a die-hard democracy fan - why are you lauding a non-democratic, overreaching dictatorship like the caretaker govt?
None of the narrative adds up - it's all...
As trump would say - if I owe the bank $500 it's my problem, if I owe the $5b then it's the banks problem.
It's the same all over the world - small borrowers don't get away with anything.
The bank's in this case should provide no interest installments to help poor borrower's - or write off...
@VikingRaider doesn't seem to understand what he wants - that why I struggle to engage with him.
He wants 'democracy' but knows that BNP can be bought - what kind of democracy is that? Basically he wants the face of democracy. But at the same time he wants that face to be someone else not...
It was worth a try - costs nothing to ask!
With $290m of exports, it's not exactly a game changer but BD exports to gcc have a lot of growth potential.
Honestly the speed with which our own countrymen would write BD's obituary was surprising.
Not only that, some groups actively worked to ensure maximum damage. An insight into a true fifth column that exists - and they're the ones agitating for democracy!
Bro the entire country is not blind for a price to be inflated 10 times. Of course there was corruption, but the bridge cost in the billions without a doubt - look into the project first and you will see...
The Padma bridge story alone disproves so many lies about a fake economy. The bridge revenues is double what was predicted - that is undeniable real world data
Ps.
@bluesky IS the turkey, one who voted for Christmas! A renowned "malaun"according to mullahs on this forum, who supports jamaat.
Lolz - have you changed persona again?
I can pull up your post lamenting your BNP cousin mayor if you want 😁
Answer the question - ad hominem is all you have nowadays. Are Khaleda and Tarek corrupt and are they dead?
Youre a shill and also a cretin.
You're not shill?? You and that imbecile @bluesky, from a self confessed failed BNP family, are an embarrassment on this forum.
The fact you say looters are gone 6 feet under - when the actual bandit chiefs Khaleda and Tarek are alive and well - says everything about your neutrality.
So stop...
It proves what logical observers have said all along.
BD industry and exports are fine - it is global commodity prices and import costs that have hurt us.
But that's not convenient for political propagandists - which is why they look like idiots now.
That YouTube hero of bluesky is looking...
