US ambassador Dan W Mozena has termed Bangladesh as a middle income county adding that soon the country would be turned into a developed country.
He made the statement while inaugurating an agricultural fair organized at Shahpur in Ishwardi upazila on Monday morning.
The US envoy said: “Bangladesh is no more a poor country and people here can ensure a better future by using the huge agricultural resources of the country.”
While visiting an agricultural farm, he said: “I have a dairy farm in my country. There are 36 cattle in my farm and I like to pass time there.”
Speaking with the farmers in Ishwardi, Mozena said the farmers often deprived of proper price of their products as they rushed to sell their product just after harvesting.
Mozena later visited an under construction cold storage for agriculture products preservation in the upazila on Monday afternoon.
Mozena along with his accompaniers has also visited Pakshey Harding Bridge, Pakshey Railway Station, two other agricultural farms and River Padma.
