Cooperation in agricultural sector

Bangladesh and Uganda have signed an MoU for agricultural cooperation. To ensure future food security, Bangladesh has been looking for lease of lands in other countries to grow food which would be exported to Bangladesh and Uganda has been one of the most desirable destinations. Several Bangladeshi companies have leased out unused cultivable lands in Uganda for commercial farming in this purpose.
