Farming Sector to face Huge Crisis

The darkness is not faraway. Farmers in Bangladesh are rapidly losing their interest in cultivation. There are a number of factors of anxiety that need to be discussed seriously. Most of the people of rural Bangladesh are engaged to farming not only as it is a occupation but also it is a production system as well as a way of life which has been connecting people since very beginning of human culture and settlement. In addition, it is the foundation of all production system in human history. But nowadays, with the global rising trend of industrialization farming is being marginalized and a loss project for its people.

In Bangladesh, industrialization is the most rising sector which is attracting labor power from other sectors. When people find that they have options and farming is not profitable among them, they generally move from it and engage to other industrial works despite having strong willingness. Therefore, the new generations are rapidly being departed from this living culture. Consequently, farmers are now very frustrated to presume that they are about to face labor crisis in farming sector within 4/5 years. As the traditional present farmers are being decreased naturally, the farming sectors are losing its power because no more labors are now being added. Moreover, with the global politics of modernization and other cultural factors, farming is considered as the occupation of backward as well as ‘illiterate’ people. All of these endeavors are enforcing rural people to leave agriculture. Actually it is solidly a political process through which industrialization is massively aiming to build its monopoly and exploit labor at very chip rate instead of multiple production systems with people’s freedom of self agency.
