Standard Chartered and Channel i have jointly launched the Standard Chartered-Channel i Agrow Award 2021, to recognize the changemakers of the agriculture sector of the country. 

Launched by Standard Chartered, this is the seventh iteration of the award and the third time it is being held in partnership with Channel I, said a press release.

Agrow Award recognizes the best-performing individuals and institutions for their significant contributions to the agriculture sector of the country.

Like last year, exemplary contributions will be recognized in 10 categories: Farmer of the Year – Male; Farmer of the Year – Female; Heroes for Change; Best Journalist (Agriculture); Jury Special; Best Agricultural Organization in Research, Innovation, and Technology; Best Agricultural Organization in Support & Execution; Best Agricultural Exporter, Best Community as Disaster Fighter and Lifetime Achievement Award.

Faridur Reza Sagar, Managing Director, Channel i, said "We have been able to highlight the contributions of many individuals and organizations within this sector over the last few years. If through this award we can add to their impetus to move forward, we will consider that to be our success."

Shykh Seraj, Director and Head of News, Channel I, said "The government has played a vital role in this story of success, as have the individuals and organizations working in this sector.

Ctg Port Gets A Boost: The Chattogram port officially starts to berth vessels with 10 metres drought on Monday. As of now, only 9.5m draught vessels could anchor at the port, each carrying 2,500 TEUs. But the 10m draught ship will be able to carry 4,000 TEUs, bumping up the port’s container handling capacity and bringing down costs. The photo was taken recently from the port area.
