Despite considerable international assistance over the years, Bangladesh has been unable to eliminate the extreme poverty and hunger prevalent in many of its rural areas.

Food production barely meets the nutritional needs of this rapidly expanding nation – one that is regularly subject to tropical storms and flooding.
