ProjectFactsheetTechnical Assistance to Livestock and Dairy Development in Bangladesh - UTF/BGD/078/BGD 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Bangladesh aims to achieve an annual two-digit growth in its gross domestic product, currently at a rate of six percent. Agriculture, and especially livestock, is essential to this development. There is an urgent need to find sustainable solutions to diversify agriculture and boost household income while supporting economic growth and reducing poverty. A World Bank-supported study (2016) revealed that the livestock and fisheries subsectors in Bangladesh were underutilized, despite being vital drivers of agricultural growth. In response, the DLS secured USD 500 million from the World Bank to implement the Livestock and Dairy Development Project (LDDP), aimed at developing the livestock sector by strengthening key value chains, including dairy, poultry and ruminants such as cattle, buffalo, sheep and goats. In Bangladesh, most livestock farmers are smallholders faced by several challenges, including a lack of organization to form producer groups (PGs), the absence of value chain-based farmer groups and infrastructure, limited knowledge of good livestock management practices, inadequate access to quality services, and low awareness of relevant policies and legislation. The aim of the project was to contribute to enhancing resilience and promoting inclusive agroeconomic growth through risk-informed strategies and best practices aimed at diversifying agricultural production and improving productivity. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Livestock Productivity, Market Access, and Resilience of Livestock Production in Bangladesh - UTF/BGD/077/BGD 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The livestock sector in Bangladesh is characterized by several challenges, including poor practices along the value chains; weak value chain organization and infrastructures; low risk management; low quality services; and a lack of proper policies and legislations. In addition, high incidence of different important animal diseases; poor technology adoption; low-quality feed and feeding; insufficient improved breed; inappropriate good management practices; inadequate business plans and market linkages; gender inequality, among others, are further limitations on livestock production in Bangladesh. It is well recognized that unlocking the growth potential of the livestock sector may require a holistic approach, and multiple interventions to address these challenges are required. In this context, the Department of Livestock Services (DLS) of the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL) received funds from the World Bank to implement the Livestock and Dairy Development Project (LDDP), targeting all main livestock value chains in the country. Against this background, the Government of Bangladesh requested that FAO provide technical assistance to the DLS to implement the LDDP. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
