Star News Plus: Indian cattle ban boosts Bangladesh cow market
Bangladesh’s cow market and hide industry were overwhelmingly dependent on smuggling of cattle from India.
It had its human cost too as the smugglers were often shot dead by the Indian security forces. In recent times, India has tightened the supply of cattle.
Initially that caused concern for meat eaters in Bangladesh. But then a miracle happened as our own entrepreneurs came forward, and cattle farms mushroomed.
Today Bangladesh can meet a large part of its meat demand from its domestic sources. This is the success story of a ban becoming a boon for Bangladesh.
