Denmark and Bangladesh have further strengthened cooperation on food and agriculture to support safe and sustainable food production in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA) and the Danish Embassy, on behalf of the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration, recently signed a Strategic Sector Cooperation (SSC) Project on food safety and the green transition of the dairy value chain, says a press release. 

This new project between Denmark and Bangladesh will address several challenges to food safety in Bangladesh, including antimicrobial resistance and misuse of antibiotics in food production.

The Danish Ambassador to Bangladesh, Christian Brix Møller, personally underscored Denmark's commitment to this partnership.

 He stated, ´Denmark and Bangladesh have been trusted partners for over five decades. We are delighted to have entered this partnership to strengthen our cooperation on food safety, mainly antimicrobial resistance and sustainable food production to support health and the development towards a prosperous Bangladesh.'

Zakaria, chairman of BFSA, underlined the importance of ensuring safe food for all to ensure health and development. This collaboration will help to develop Bangladesh further and ensure safe food. By increasing food safety measures, Bangladesh will have more access to the international food market.

The signing has solidified the commitment of both nations to continue close cooperation in the food and agricultural sectors and collaborate on vital matters related to food safety management and sustainable food production. This SSC project is a government-to-government project between Denmark and Bangladesh. The Danish partner in this project is the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (DVFA). In contrast, the Bangladeshi partners are BFSA, Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI), Directorate General Drug Administration (DGDA), and Department of Livestock Services (DLS). The three-year government-to-government project is bringing Danish and Bangladeshi experts together.
