Overview

Our support to Bangladesh focuses on a farming systems approach supporting broader food security aspects, improved production and diversification of the rice-based farming systems and adaptation to climate change.

The ACIAR country strategy is aligned to Australia's aid program in the areas of natural resource management, improving trade connectivity and encouraging investments to empower women to participate in cross-regional trade opportunities.
