Yunus urged IFAD to fund social businesses for Bangladeshi youth, women, farmers, and fishers to boost exports and climate-resilient agriculture.
Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus urged IFAD to create a social business fund for Bangladeshi youth, women, farmers, and fishers during a meeting with IFAD President Alvaro Lario at the World Food Forum in Rome.
The discussion focused on boosting exports of mangoes and jackfruit, expanding deep-sea fishing, promoting climate-resilient farming, and scaling up buffalo milk dairy production, including mozzarella cheese.
Yunus highlighted the need for technology, cold storage, and processing infrastructure, noting growing interest from China.
IFAD, which has funded 37 projects in Bangladesh since 1978 totaling $4.26 billion, currently supports six active projects worth $412 million.
Lario expressed interest in strengthening partnerships and social business initiatives.
Yunus instó al FIDA a financiar negocios sociales para jóvenes, mujeres, agricultores y pescadores bangladesíes para impulsar las exportaciones y la agricultura resistente al clima.
