The Workers Party president, Rashed Khan Menon, on Friday feared an imminent food crisis if the government does not make concerted efforts to ensure the supply of agricultural inputs.

The country will face a famine which will be difficult to address, Menon said at an extended committee meeting of the Jatiya Krishak Samiti and Bangladesh Khetmajur Union at the Asad Auditorium in Dhaka.

The farmers are facing shortage of fertilisers, diesel and seed during boro season, but the government has yet to take proper steps to address the issues, Menon said.

The Jatiya Krishak Samiti general secretary, Aminul Islam Golap, placed a report where he said the boro production target this year could not be achieved if the government does not take immediate measures for smooth supply of agricultural inputs.

Farmer leader Abdus Sattar presided over the meeting. Noor Mohammad, Nazrul Haque Nilu, Manoj Saha and others took part in discussion on the report.
