Bangladesh should allocate government lands among landless people, who contribute to the overall agriculture production and national economy, International Land Coalition director Bruce H Moore said in Dhaka on Sunday. The country also needs enforcement of the regulations on sharecropping and ensuring fair employment conditions and wages for agriculture workers to reduce poverty, Bruce told a news conference, organised by the ILC's local partner Association for Land Reform and Development of Bangladesh, at the Dhaka Reporters Unity.
