There will be no food crisis,” said the minister while talking to the reporters after a meeting with Qu Dongyu, secretary general of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in Dhaka. Regarding hike in commodity prices, Razzaque said people have to suffer a little because of the international market. “We will have a big harvest season in April.
