The government of Bangladesh has initiated a comprehensive mapping exercise targeting 1.01 million food businesses across the country.
The initiative focuses on gathering detailed operational data to facilitate targeted training on safe food production and supply chain management.
Officials stated that the move is designed to improve regulatory monitoring and ensure consistent access to safe food for consumers nationwide.
The data collection effort follows consultations with various industry stakeholders, according to reports from The Daily Star.
By creating a centralized registry of food enterprises, authorities aim to identify gaps in compliance and deliver standardized safety protocols.
This structural approach seeks to move beyond reactive inspections toward proactive oversight of the sector.
