Food Minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder on Monday said no food crisis will happen in the country despite the global volatile situation due to the war between Russia and Ukraine.
"There is no reason for concern about wheat as ships are regularly entering into the country loading huge amounts of wheat," he said.
The minister said this while addressing a discussion titled "Sheikh Hasina's homecoming: Bangladesh is on the way to freedom" as the special guest held at the Jatiya Press Club in Dhaka.
Veteran freedom fighter and presidium member of the ruling Awami League Mofazzal Hossen Chowdhury Maya also spoke at the function as the chief guest.

"Commitment has already been made to provide wheat from our neighbouring country and it's underway to import wheat according to the commitment," he said, adding that Bangladesh has become a food sufficient country today under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina.
Awami League's central sub-committee on labour and manpower organised the function.
Mentioning that there is no chance of food scarcity in Bangladesh, he said, "No scope of food shortage as the country has a huge stock of food."
“The Aush cultivation is now ahead and we are very much hopeful that its output will be better,” the minister further said.
