Not necessarily.

Bumper boro crop: But what next?
Ahsan Mansur

BANGLADESH is at the threshold of a massive bumper boro crop.
Reports from all across the country point to a potential boro output
well above the ambitious government target of 17.5 million tons. This is
certainly the best news for the country and the government besieged by
the surge in rice price all across the globe and the danger of food shortage.

There is no danger of food shortage.

The excellent outlook for boro also comes on the heels of bumper
wheat and potato crops. This outlook also poses important policy
opportunities and challenges for the government to reestablish our
agriculture policy on a sustainable footing, consistent with the
objectives of making Bangladesh self-sufficient in food, alleviating
social and political tensions arising from the high food prices, and
at the same time eliminating emerging fiscal imbalances.

You need to fix the problem of pumping out so many kids.

This forthcoming record rice output is the result of farmers'
whole-hearted response to the terms-of-trade (TOT) shock in favour
of rice producers and the strengthened support provided by various
government agencies. The favorable TOT shift is the most that the
farmers have experienced anytime in recent history.

The price increase of Tk 12-15 per kg of rice observed in local
markets should create additional income of Tk 21,000-26,250 crores
($3-3.75 billion) for the farmers based on the official target for boro.
Since both acres brought under boro production and the yield per
acre are projected to be higher than their targets, the actual amount
of the increase in income from boro should be significantly higher. If
we add to his boro crop an average level of production of aman and
aus, Bangladesh should expect to achieve self-sufficiency in food grain.
With total output exceeding 30 million tons, the amount of potential total
additional income for the farmers would range between Tk. 36,000-45,000
crores ($5.1-6.4 billion) or 8-10 percent of GDP in a full year.

High food prices

Looks like you had a premature ejaculation.
