Following the 1999
Development Forum held in Paris which emphasized the need to adopt a
comprehensive food security policy, the Government of Bangladesh established a
Task Force of nine ministries. Based on the recommendations of this Task Force,
an initial draft of the NFP was produced in 2001. After consultations with
a Parliamentary Sub-Committee on food, and with support from FAO, the draft went
through a series of revisions between 2002 and 2004.
The National Food
Policy was finally approved by the Cabinet on 14 August 2006.
