The WFP Representative made the assurance when he paid a farewell call on Foreign Adviser Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury at Foreign Ministry yesterday morning. Iftekhar thanked Douglas Broderick for his personal support and cooperation. Speaking to the media later the adviser said, "The World Food Programme stood by us in the post-cyclone and Sidr period when we needed them. Today we are looking to a bumper boro production. There is no option but to become self-sufficient in food'.
