Life or death, tobacco or food

Cultivation of tobacco is being doubled in Bangladesh because of not having proper steps by the government. If this continues then it will be threatening for food security. Chairman of British American Tobacco Bangladesh, Golam Mainuddin said cultivating lands should be kept separated for tobacco and other food-crops cultivation to avoid the clash between tobacco farmers and freelance farmers. Besides, the Managing Director of Dhaka Tobacco, S K Bosir Uddin believes that if tobacco cultivation becomes a threat for food security then certainly it should be addressed by everyone including the tobacco companies. However, these tobacco companies use to show the economic benefit of Bangladesh through this tobacco cultivation and tobacco export. In response to this, Canadian specialist, Geofray Tee from Ontario Institute for Cancer Research said tobacco is an agricultural product which kills people, so which is more important to concern- food to safe life or tobacco to kill life? He also added that media should work more to make the tax higher on tobacco. Above all, farmers get more interested in growing tobacco because of earning more cash and within last five years, the rate of tobacco-consumers got elevated too. So, it is a high time to take decision about which crops should be continuously growing in the land-tobacco or food-crops. The report was done for Channel I by Pantho Rahman.
