Tajwar Awal, Director of Lal Teer Seed Limited, spoke at the Bangladesh Business Confidence Dialogue 2025, a high-level convening organized by LightCastle Partners. He highlighted the pressing need for risk protection and affordable financing in agriculture, noting the absence of crop insurance due to limited data availability. He also emphasized that while businesses must invest more in the sector, farmers and agribusinesses also require low-cost capital, as current interest rates of 15–16% make operations unsustainable. 🌾💧 🔗 Learn more about the Dialogue and its key takeaways below. #BangladeshBusinessConfidenceDialogue2025 #LightCastlePartners #Agriculture #AgriFinance #CropInsurance #SustainableAgriculture #AgriInnovation #FoodSecurity #AgriInvestment #BangladeshAgriculture #ClimateResilience

By 2041, Bangladesh’s waste volume is expected to surge to 142,000 tons per day, nearly a five-fold jump from current levels, yet only 45–50% of urban waste is collected today, with the remainder spilling into streets, drains, and waterways. With landfills already stretched and nearing capacity, unmanaged waste is intensifying flooding, public-health risks, and environmental degradation, underscoring the urgent need for scalable, circular waste solutions. Our latest analysis explores how Bangladesh can shift from a disposal-based model to a resource-recovery and circular systems approach through segregation at source, composting, biogas, recycling, e-waste management, digital tracking, and structured EPR frameworks. 🔗 Read the full article in the comments! #Bangladesh #CircularEconomy #UrbanResilience #WasteManagement #Sustainability #ClimateAction #GreenGrowth
