National Agricare started its journey in 2002 as a farmers’ company of Bengal and the company has been contributing significantly to the agricultural revolution of Bangladesh since its inception. National Agricare is going to start the journey of export of agricultural materials and pesticides to meet the demand of agricultural materials of the country. Import-dependent pesticides are now going to become an export-oriented industry. In continuation of that, a memorandum of understanding was signed between National Agricare, one of Bangladesh’s agribusiness companies, and Maldives’ Mianz Private Limited at Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel premises in the capital on 02 March 2023. Through this, Mianj Private Limited of Maldives will purchase various agricultural inputs (especially pesticides) from National Agricare.
